Shouldn't Main be bustling with hungry people at 11:45 a.m.? I thought so, too.<br /><br />Chances of rain today may have caused downtown Tulsans to work through lunch, or to go downstairs or someplace to the in-house cafeteria. Even so, I count only seven people in the foreground of this photo (I didn't count the people in the background because I don't have super-sonic vision, but I bet there are 12-15).<br /><br />Folks, I have a dream:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/RkpTzSs8tzI/AAAAAAAAADQ/qchaIB3lVuk/s1600-h/citystreetpop.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/RkpTzSs8tzI/AAAAAAAAADQ/qchaIB3lVuk/s400/citystreetpop.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064952871590344498" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Ah, yes. A downtown densely populated where a diverse workforce gets out-and-about for a bite to eat at lunchtime. Yeah, people are driving, but they're probably just going to go pick someone up to take them to <a href="http://www.cazschowhouse.com/">Caz's</a> or <a href="http://mcnellies.com/">McNellie's</a>.<br /><br />See that little green person back there by the tree? That could be you.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mayfest</span><br />Mayfest starts Thursday and runs through Sunday. Yay! Mayfest is my favorite Tulsa festival. I love that all the weirdos, pretty people, kids and leisure-starved folks get to come hang out in the same place and cause a little ruckus together. And, simply being around each other is good for us all.<br /><br />Perhaps Tulsan/Tulsa enthusiast <a href="http://www.myspace.com/logsdonj">Mos Jef</a> said it best:<br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Come out and enjoy Mayfest.  Tulsa's events will only get better if you support them as they already exist.</blockquote></span></span>
