Last July, I ventured up to Oklahoma's second city for a few days to take care of some business. The primary items on my agenda were to see if our resident Tulsan contributor Chelsea was normal (she is) and to have lunch with the people behind This Land Press, which is a Tulsa-based "new media" publication that is 1/3 Oklahoma Gazette, 1/3 The New Yorker and 1/3 Grantland. Basically, it's pretentious and hipstery as hell, but in a totally fine and readable way.
On the first night of my visit, Chelsea took me out to some of her favorite Tulsa hangouts in the Brady / Blue Dome District. Geographically and historically speaking, the area is kind of like Bricktown. The major difference is that it lacks a weird canal and is named after a racist, whereas Bricktown has a canal and was named after the object of Steve Lackmeyer's carnal desires.
