Ice Escapades and a Chicken Sandwich

At noon today I took a little walk to check out the outdoor ice arena. It was a little chilly and all the machinery was going full blast but the ice looked very soft. I'm not sure this concept is going to work. One problem is the location. It is right behind the BOK Arena, right next to the downtown heating plant. Pretty ugly. I didn't even take a picture of it it was so ugly.

Right next to it is what I guess is the city Christmas Tree. Isn't it pretty? A spruce or fir from Colorado or Wyoming? Nope, its an artificial tree. Its hollow inside. You could fit a whole busload of homeless guys in there. I can tell you from my years of poking around downtown looking for good geocache hiding spots, that anywhere there is a hidey hole big enough to put a person into, someone is in it. So I didn't poke around inside that tree too much.

You know, there are various tours of downtown Tulsa one can make. You can tour the Art Deco buildings, the Oilman's offices, Historical sites, shoot they even have tours of the tunnels. I could show you where the homeless guys stay. What, do you think they live in the suburbs and drive in every day? Nope, they live right downtown. They are ahead of trend! They are taking up the best geocaching locations but I don't hold that against them.

In the background is the BOK Arena. I don't recommend the cheap seats but I love the way it looks. I don't get all the whining, complaining, bitching, pissing, moaning, and groaning going on about it. I love the building.

All my wandering and wondering made me hungry so I went for a late lunch at Billie's on the Square. You know the square where the circle is? They have the second best hamburgers in town and the best Chicken Sandwiches. I had my favorite: The Southwest Chicken Sandwich. No fries, just a diet soda to drink. It is the best Chicken Sandwich in Tulsa. I give Billie's three stars out of four.
