Tulsa’s Route 66 Vision
You’ve got to love what Tulsa has done with their landmark Gold Meadow sign along Route 66 on the outskirt of its downtown. The sign was in jeopardy, but preservations found a new location and rebuilt the sign to its former glory. Besides the milk bottle building on Classen, are there similar restoration opportunities in Oklahoma City?

How about the Graffiti bridge on Western, the Biltmore hotel, the “Borden” cows on N Broadway, the Hollies sign, the Split-T. Oh wait, never mind.
Hey Steve. worked on this Meadow Gold project several years ago. Going to e-mail you a vintage pic for posting a comparison. It is really a great sign.
The first (and only thing to date) the Tower Theatre redevelopers have done — restore the vintage neon sign along NW 23rd.
Steve, I think we have missed those opportunities, especially with signs from Hollie’s Drive-in, and the old Liberty Tower (now City Place) weather beacon
