I love the BOK Tower. I wish they would build an observation deck on it. I was just at Hyatt Regency a little over a week ago and just could not stop thinking how big it was. Experts claim that one of the Twin Towers was two times the size of the BOK Tower combined. I could not imagine.

I am linking this to the Wikipedia article on House of Night because in that best-selling series of Tulsa vampire novels, some of the meanest vampires use these tunnels a lot. (Usually using a fictitious extension north to the old train station.)

Yep! That was where Kokoa Kabana was located. And Dwelling Spaces' little satellite shop, too. Next time you go to Elote, cross the street and wander through the Philcade lobby for just a minute. You'll be stunned. And check out all the animals carved into the facade of the building, too!

Ed, I don't know that I've been in the Philcade, actually. The tunnel doesn't go to there and they don't have lunch, right? So yeah, I probably haven't been there. (Wait, is the former chocolate place turned sandwich place in that building?).

Something I like about the tunnels are the different sounds and smells one finds along the way. Sometimes it's the click-clack of ladies' shoes on a marble floor; other times it sounds like a cave, complete with echo and dripping water. In parts it smells like garage, in others like breakfast – there's nothing like working downtown and getting to walk through historic buildings that smell like bacon and biscuits first thing in the morning.
