It's no secret that downtown Tulsa and I are having full blown love affair.  I fell head over heels around springtime and ever since that point, we've been holding hands, skipping down the street and drawing hearts on the sidewalk.  Well, we would be if I was that kind of girl.  I'm not.  And of course there are occasional moments when I can't find a freaking parking place and I feel like shaking my fist towards the tallest building in sight and yelling mean words, but for the most part it has been smooth sailing and I'm just along for the ride.

A couple of weekends ago I spent an evening with downtown Tulsa.  I started off at the Oklahoma Steak Championship Cook-off where I had an amazing steak prepared by Smokin' BBQ.  Then my gang wandered to Elote for a few drinks and finished up the night the best way possible - homemade tator tots from Boulder Grill.  Let these pictures be proof to you of why I can't get enough of the place that brings old and new friends together while showing off classic cars and boasting of the world's largest bar made of recycled goods.  It's amazing I say.  Amazing.
