Ha!😊@09:54 my dad RIP🕊️ was the still photographer for Knight Rider, so most likely he did that shot. The studios got credited mostly, not him, but sooo great to see this Father's Day weekend. You made ny day, thank you😊💧
Rip to your dad. I love listening to people talk about family and I think it's neat when someone sees something in a RUclips video that connects to that🥰
@@imaginationsmusic1985 yes thank you!! I never could imagine or plan THAT, and the coincidence of it being Father's Day tomorrow... I got chills in a good way,💛🕊️
I am from Texas and live in New Mexico. I love red bud trees. They are so pretty and not red. 😂 The blooms don't last very long. People plant them here in New Mexico because they are drought resistant. They were brought here in 1598, but the story is debated.
So thrilling to see Alex driving around my town! There's so much history and so much to do in Tulsa. You picked the right time to be here. The redbuds in spring are indeed gorgeous.
I am from Bemidji, Minnesota and I have seen those trees before. There is a place in the Minnesota National Chippewa Forest that is called the "The Lost 40." Remember those tall pine trees were used for masts in the old days. The rumor is the surveyors got drunk and messed up the numbers. Any who, those old pines are HUGE, old growth, for centuries. m P.S. an old surveyor from the early '80s
@@jazzjohannes Ontario as well and my neighbor has a similar tree. I always thought theirs was a flowering crab or something, lol. I'll have to ask them. Every spring, it is so beautiful!
Redbud trees, they are the state tree for Oklahoma. Arnold's Burgers near the first Route 66 sign you showed is amazingly cheap, one of the oldest burger places in Tulsa and the food portions are amazing.
@9:40 you mentioned having an autographed picture of David Hasselhoff. My oldest son growing up was a huge fan of Dan Marino from the Miami Dolphins. They used to have machines that would draw out birthday cards. I had one made in the Dan Marino/ Miami Dolphins style. I had it signed (Happy Birthday James, Dan Marino) Omg he was so thrilled. He cryed he was so happy. I often thought I should tell him the truth, but never did. It made him feel special. Kina like the Santa thing... He said as he grew up he realized the truth. btw he became a grandpa this year an still has that card along with a big tote full of Dan the Man lol 😁🐬13 ✌🏼
What?! You came here and didn't stop by and say Hi????? Love your show and am very sorry I didn't get to see you, Alex. I'm a transplanted Texan living in Tulsa! BTW, I actually live on old Route 66 (now called 11th St.) on 95'th East Avenue.
If you had time for Claremore you could learn all about Oklahoma’s Will Rodgers. In Bartlesville you could learn all about the Phillips 66 oil company. If you have time, stop at a Braums for ice cream.
My guess is that the tree is an Eastern Redbud tree. But it could also be a Crabapple. I had a Western Redbud tree in CA, but had to switch to an Eastern Redbud when I moved to Ohio. One of my favorites! Blessings, Janell
Malted grain is used to make beer, whisky, malted milk, malt vinegar, confections such as Maltesers and Whoppers, flavored drinks such as Horlicks, Ovaltine, and Milo, and some baked goods, such as malt loaf, bagels, and Rich Tea biscuits. Malted grain that has been ground into a coarse meal is known as "sweet meal".
You should be able to grow Redbud Trees in Alberta. We have them here in Boise. My Nextdoor neighbor has one next to our backyard fence. It always makes me so happy to see the pretty purple flowers in the early spring. .
My home-area! So funny to be a sub for so long and see this pop up. Green Country is a wonderful hidden gem to raise a family (maybe not Tulsa proper though 😂) So much history and immense opportunities for fun. Hope you enjoy my neck of the woods 😌
Oklahoma Redbud, had one in my backyard in Oklahoma. One came up voluntarily (thanks birdies) in my flowerbed. It was long until I could transplant it, fast grower and lovely heart shaped leaves. The color on an Oklahoma redbud is prettier. I went to Tulsa often.
The house are in the older part of Tulsa, went I was a kid we use to call it the rich part of town, I guess it still is. Beautiful part of Tulsa. Still love the mansions. Use to baby sit for our Dr. that lived in one of those older two story homes. Love that area.
Red bud trees are very easy to propigate too. You can take the pods they produce when they do and plant them in a coffee can w dirt and let them root. My neighbor did it So easily.
That is a red bud tree they dont get very tall i have one in my front yard it works great for a privacy tree but you'll get plenty of volunteer seedlings.
Oh Alex ! ... How I wish I would have known you were going to be here in my "backyard" (Oklahoma) 😊 ... Would have loved to have met up with you !! ... Hope you enjoyed your visit and will come back to visit us (Oklahoma) again. 🤗
Those Arbys signs are ultra rare now. Theyre a hold-over from when the name was 'Roy Rogers Roast Beef' and thats Roy's hat. they just changed the name. BTW l remember going to them and they were another level in quality of product compared to an Arbys today.
And here's a tidbit of useless information.... Do you know who bought RoBee's House of Beef restaurant chain then turned it into Roy Rogers restaurants in 1968? The Marriott Corporation. Yes, the Marriott Hotels, Marriott Corporation. The company began as a 9-seat root beer stand in 1927 in Washington, DC. In 1937 they added an in-flight catering business for the popular, up-and-coming commercial airlines and became the world's leading supplier of airplane food. And in 1967, they purchased the iconic Bob's Big Boy restaurant chain. (Sorry, lots of Marriott tidbits. I made it to just under 30 years at the company - thanks COVID.)
I lived in Oklahoma for four years as a kid. Oil was everything. At the time, if you went to the State Capitol building, there was a working oil well on the grounds. I looked it up, and the well was capped in the 80s but the derrick remains.
My favorite diner in Tulsa was the Metro on 11th street. The parking lot had pink lines! Chrome on the outside too. I Love Lucy stuff inside and the back? of an old Chevy as the checkout counter. It was torn down to make room for something at the U of Tulsa next door. I was so hurt when that happened. There is a diner similar to it in Carthage MO called Iggy's. It's great!
Hi Alex, I passed thru Tulsa years ago. I’m sure it’s much bigger now. When I got married in 1967, we traveled to California thru Rte 66, it was a fun trip as well as our honeymoon. Our destination was Long Beach, ca. as my husband was still in the navy and stationed there. Thirteen years later, I returned home after many adventures in Southern California.
Those big houses were likely built during one of Tulsa's oil booms. They are pretty, but you will see at least one neighborhood like that in most medium sized towns in the midwest/ great plains area that were built during a oil boom. Also, if you remember the Weird Al Yankovich movie UHF, a lot of that was filmed in Tulsa.
Yep red bud trees. When my daughter was 4 years old she would get so mad when she asked what they were call I would say red buds. She would yell but they are purple! I think she still gets mad about at 36years old.
I'm so glad that the option for your television show has expired. Something has been ever so slightly off , a little uncanny valley style. You now seem to be so much more enthusiastic. Thank you for your content
We have those trees in Missouri they are called Redbud trees. Route 66 goes thru parts of Missouri too, sadly the highways put many of the small road side diners and motels out of business, changing that small town feel.
W e need a meet and greet in Tulsa. Wish we knew you were coming. I've said it a few times. We can tell you lots of fun places to go. I think on one post I mentioned for you to go to a town next to Tulsa called Jenks, OK. It is known as our antique capital here :) on the main street also Claremore has some great antique places to and my sister in love Margo and my neice Shari owns a great tea room called The Pink House in The Belvidere mansion you and your wife would love w the kiddos. The Admiral flea market my friend used to own :) she passed away several yrs ago. Go to see The Blue Whale a friend's family owns it on route 66 near Claremore
Looks like you need a meet and greet next time you are in Tulsa. So many in the comments and you’d probably get some good sourcing. Hope you found the antique store in Jenks.
re the photo of David Hasselhoff - back in the 80s his father was a regional mgr with a company I worked. In his briefcase he had head shots of David. He, the father, signed those photos right there in front of us as if he were David and handed them out.
I wish I would have known you would be in Tulsa, I would have tried to meet up with you since I live in Bixby just south of Tulsa. Next time you come to this area you really need to check out Jenks Oklahoma just South of Tulsa there are antique stores and a really large consignment store called River City that use to be a large grocery store and is now full of all kinds of booths full of all kinds of collectibles.
Funny this video popped-up. I just spent the afternoon going through 2 large Antique Malls and bought NOTHING! Most Dealer's are absolutely INSANE on their prices! Items that sell on-line for $10.00 (as an example)...a Dealer might be asking $50, $60, $70 for the exact same thing!! I saw several items that had a layer of dust on them and even some faded price tags....that's how long they've been sitting there! The other thing is the fact that most of these items are not needed...they're bought for display, etc. Dealer's....quit with the crazy prices...you're in the business of selling stuff and not a museum
If you are back in Tulsa it is not far to Pawhuska, Oklahoma. That place had a lot of money at one time and the shops up there show it. Pawn shops are another place to look in on too. Great for a 24 hour turn around then stop thru Hominy. Bartlesvile is another good look around and stay at the Frank Lloyd Wright hotel it is neat. If this is extra footage from the last time you were here well maybe next time.
Did you see the Big Blue Whale?? This is my mom’s town and lives near the whale. On my way there for the 4th. Another cool place is The Gathering Place (I think it is called) a park like no other I have ever seen.

Everyone should drive on it! House where “THE OUTSIDERS”
Is in Tulsa! If open, you can tour it.
The purple tree is called a redbud tree. They bloom in the early spring. Texas Deb

The tree that you asked about is a Redbud which is the Oklahoma state tree. The blooms are edible.
Didn't realize the booms are edible.

I didn't realize there are Eastern Redbuds and Western Redwoods. I'm assuming what we have here in CA are Western Redbuds.
You are in my hometown. I was born and raised there. Thanks for showing me some dear memories.
so whats the history with the mansions?
I was raised there also!!
@@LisaG-fu9zp They were lawyers homes and people in the oil business!! Probably Doctors also.
@@debilucas2989 wow ok
I took Rt 66 in 1962, when it was still the highway of legend. It was a great experience.
It's cool to see one of my favorite videographer driving around my home town! I hope the Tally burgers are still real good!
I bet you could grow a Red Bud Tree in Alberta.... we have them in Iowa and our weather comes from Alberta all winter.
The purple colored tree is called a Redbud tree.
We have lots of them in Alabama. The Redbed tree grows in the wild.
BTY… love your channel.
We have Eastern Redbuds here in Kentucky too.

Definitely a red bud. We have them here in Virginia too. I love those trees.
Redbuds, my mom LOVED them, never had much luck growing one.
The redbud is also oklahomas state tree
Great to see in my neck of the world in Oklahoma hope you enjoyed your trip here

Red bud tree. they sprout flowers in the spring before the leaves sprout.
It’s a red bud tree. We have them in Florida. One of the first tree to bloom
We have those red bud trees in New Mexico also.
I apologize for repeating info but the Red Bud is also the Oklahoma state tree. They are very pretty in the Spring.
Those trees look like Jacaranda. You see towns full of them in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Cercis canadensis or Redbud tree. THere is also a white blooming cultivar and one with purple leaves.
Lot of good 'ol stuff.
