We won’t get too political here at the 918, but when the newest Oklahoma State Senator is a graduate of the same high school as our lead contributor, we make an exception. Congratulations to J.J., and may he and all the state senators lead us during some difficult times.

Great to see the Brady district filling up with new life. 36 Degrees North, Tulsa’s Basecamp for Entrepreneurs, is a great new asset for downtown.

Faith

We have not gotten to watch all of this yet, but if you have 30 minutes, then you should watch this video “Building Family Faith: In the Midst of a Frantic Schedule.”

Did you know that the band, Stars Go Dim, with their current hit song, “You are Loved” is based in Tulsa? Read a little bit about their story including a recent road-trip they made for one of the band members.
