I don’t know whether there’s Route 66 content, but “Fantastic Tulsa Films” — a compilation of home and professional movies of Tulsa from years ago — is airing several times in Oklahoma in the coming weeks, including at 7 p.m. today on OETA, the state’s public television network. At the least, it will be of interest to history buffs.
For those who live outside the Tulsa area, a DVD is available of “Fantastic Tulsa Films” for $24.95.
A sample video of “Fantastic Tulsa Films” is here. I about had a heart attack when I saw brief nighttime footage of what appears to be the historic Meadow Gold neon sign that was at 11th Street and Lewis, aka Route 66. But the configuration of the sign is wrong; it must have been a neon sign on the Meadow Gold building itself. You can see it from a screen capture below:
Still, it’s similar enough that you get a pretty good idea what it’s going to look like when it’s restored near 11th and Peoria.
