Signs, Signs- Deep Downtown Tulsa

I get off work at 6 pm so it is pretty much dark when I get off work these days. So I've been seeking out some neon signs on the way home.

I really like the Atlas Life Building's Sign. I just wish they could light up the globe that Atlas is straining to hold up.

If you back up a little bit on Boston Avenue it makes Tulsa look like a regular city. Tulsa already has their snowflake Christmas lights up.

Even the building next to my parking space looks metropolitan.

Speaking of globes the Tulsa World's sign lights up the globe and the globe even rotates.

For those who are overwhelmed by the prospect of holding up the world they can go drown their troubles at Orphas. Tulsa highest class dive bar.

You have a long working day UNLESS you don't start until almost noon!!!

Glad that there aren't many neon signs in your city. If you were in Hong Kong, you would be awed by the number of neon signs around you. :)

Great signs for the day! I do love the night shots -- everything/everyone tends to look better after dark -- well, at least I do!!

Gaelyn said...

Nice signs yet I like best the photo of the lit up building next to where you park.

Tulsa does look like a city, a big one too. Love those Christmas snowflakes as well as the neon Atlas Life sign.

Very cools signs. I see what you mean about the first one. It would be nice if the globe lit up. Maybe you should tell them!

RedPat said...

I really like the Atlas Life sign too but I guess it is really $$ to fix neon that quits lighting up.

Andy said...

Wow! Theses are classic signs.

Lesley said...

after all those great signs, Orpha's looks a little ... simple.

Jim said...

Terrific sign.

The dramatic lighting is wonderful!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Love how the lights illumine a whole column of the building! some fascinating photos!

These are great night time city shots!!! I am taking a workshop in two weeks on night photography....and of course our town already has Christmas lights up also.

I have not seen downtown Tulsa before. I don't like getting off work in the dark, but it gives you a different perspective of the area than you're used to during the day.

Gotta' love a good high class dive!(Isn't that an oxymoron?).....

And Tulsa looks like a real city to me (Pacific Northwest, small townish type of person).
