i was considering running to the attraction from the midtown residence where i'm living, but…read moreeventually decided to ask momma to bring me, and so we took the highway to downtown, getting off on the first exit coming south to north on the ba, and parking on archer st, the latter of which i liked because we got to walk through the symmetrical shady tree and concrete bench area before reaching the main center of the universe circle. and although the main center of the attraction is closed at the moment, with the city politely, somewhat sillily apologizing for any of its dust in the area, you can see the tall, skinny statue with what looks like a cloud on top of it and hear a faint echo if you yell something toward it, such as i did, letting that cloud statue know "tulsa has something to say." and really the intention contained in that statement, beside promoting a cool slogan about the city where i cameup, is to build upon the availability the center of the universe landmark offers for getting something off your chest to again offer a good phone number for me here in case there is something anyone needs to get off that chest without a outlet for where to do that: (539) 525-5464.

On a cool, sunny Tulsa afternoon I found myself downtown and within easy striking distance of the…read morelegendary Center of the Universe. What, I wondered, might I find in this little spot that is rumored to have magical powers? Thankfully, the C of the U is well-marked by an enormous, spire-like metal map marker so it's easy to find. Once there, the actual COTU is marked by sort of a worn out circle of bricks and concrete that (tbh) probably needs a little sprucing up. According to local lore (and many Yelp reviews), you can stand in the center of this spot and speak, and nobody will hear you. Or your words will come back to you. Or something like that. I wasn't really sure what to expect. And to be completely honest with you, nothing happened when I tried. Maybe I did it wrong. There *were* people walking by, so I mostly muttered to myself, rather than yell out into the void. Yes, it's quite likely that fear of embarrassment caused me not to experience the magic and wonder that make the COTU what it is.

i'd not before seen the sidewalk path connecting the convergent streets that comprise the hill, but…read morethat was a pleasant surprise to me as an area not on the street for doing a warmup. then, running up the side on the left, if you are facing toward the hill, i got in 7 repetitions, 1 for each of the players i'd recalled as getting playing rotation during the fab five era for wolverines basketball. see pic below for reference connection. nonetheless, for crosssport training purposes, hill repeats in outdoor basketball shoes definitely lends more toward basketball training than track, so using that pic to emphasize the baggy shorts and black socks aesthetic with the lebrons i've been wearing as an outdoors basketball shoe, definitely gives evidence toward answering what sport i was putting in training effort toward, although i've run hill repeats there before as training for running.

This is not for the weak. Now about this. If you want "family friendly" you stay down by the river on the flat road. There is plenty of space for picnics and children. If you want over 21 with anything goes, you move uphill. There is live music, food trucks, lots of intoxication, partial or sometimes full nudity if they don't get caught, women in nothing but pasties and thongs and well, men too. There will be signage of suggestive material and very vulgar. Is it everyone? Not at all but it's not for the modest or faint of heart. It's actually pretty disgusting how people behave on the hill as it is a really exciting event. It will be trashy, full of liter, filthy and hot. Bring a cooler maybe a backpack full of cleansing cloths and hand wash as you may not find any of that up there because it's packed. You can stage yourself however throughout to actually watch the race. I mean it's like sin city wrapped up in a few hours. It's Tulsa for ya. I wish it could be family friendly as cry baby hill is exciting but they can't control it so they contain it. Btw look it up before you go to see what the "theme" is. Each year they have a theme and people sometimes dress the part. Otherwise wear what you'd wear in spring break, to the pool or dress like the Grinch and have a blast. (Yes we have seen it all!)
