visited the city before. But what really will they see?
I just talked with a friend in our Tulsa Office and she was telling me that a lot of Tulsa business plan on being closed Friday and are boarding up their windows until after the weekend events. National Guard Troops and who know how many people connected with how many different federal, state, and local police entities. And the 2 day Juneteenth Celebration. Increased coronavirus cases.
There is potential for things to get volatile (probably what Trump is hoping for).

Unwanted visitors from surrounding, and not so surrounding, states will not just be spreading the disease among themselves and taking it home to thousands of places, but they will also be bringing it with them.
Our daughter and son-in-law visit on business a few times a year and stay downtown. As business and shopping "tourists," no surprise that one of her favorite pre-COVID restaurants is somewhere on the canal in Bricktown, back when these walks and water were crowded with people enjoying themselves. When I went with them she also took me to Myriad Botanical Gardens, a really lovely day.

Fun fact: Hinton's early books are credited with creating the YA Genre.
So, that info about S.E. Hinton and the Tulsa Massacre is what I mainly know about Tulsa.

(14,494 posts)Dozens of people will be sickened (and a few will likely die), hundreds of thousands of tax dollars down the toilet and dozens of Tulsa businesses will suffer, not to mention interruption of almost all Tulsa citizen's lives in some way.
All for around one hour of bullshit and lies with nothing gained for the American people.
This could go down in the history books as the worst spoiled brat feel-good events ever.....

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) Officials with the Oklahoma State Department of Health say they are unable to provide updated COVID-19 numbers at this time due to technical difficulties.
On Wednesday morning, data from the Oklahoma State Department of Health shows that the state has had 8,904 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since March. Data pix.
Thats an increase of 259 cases in the past 24 hours, or a 3% jump.
There were no other details given on what the technical difficulties are or when the numbers will be available again.

They issue reports daily Monday through Saturday and generally don't issue a report on Sundays.
I was talking with a friend and we decided that if they don't issue a report tomorrow the whole thing is fishy heading into Trump's vanity rally.
