Party Brenda is not very good at partying in the mornings – especially after a night at <a href="http://www.mcnellies.com/">McNellie’s</a>. </p>    <p class="MsoNormal">That’s okay – I’m awake now, and there is nothing I can do about it. If the rain hasn’t washed away the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Word on the Street</span>, here are the clues to where it’s at:<br /><br /></p>    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">First clue</span>: I am near the point of much controversy, disappointment, wait-and-see and especially <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&amp;channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hs=kFw&q=bell%27s+amusement+park+tulsa%2C+OK+evicted&amp;btnG=Search">media coverage</a> during the past year. </p>    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Second clue</span>: I’m in midtown <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Tulsa, and local residents used to complain about how much noise I made after sundown because some people were trying to sleep (see the <a href="http://tashadoestulsa.blogspot.com/2007/03/tasha-does-tulsa-now.html">first post</a> of Tasha Does Tulsa if you wanna know how I feel about that)</st1:place></st1:city>. </p>    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Third clue</span>: If you’re a native Tulsan in your twenties or early thirties, you probably have many childhood memories here. I know I do.<br /></p>    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fourth and final clue</span>: The word on the street is at <span style="font-weight: bold;">36 degrees 8 minutes 6 seconds North, and 95 degrees 56 minutes and 5 seconds West</span>, according to <a href="http://earth.google.com/">Google Earth</a>. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/aaron8620">Natasha’s husband</a> said you can Google this set of coordinates and find the exact location of the Word on the Street. </p>    <p class="MsoNormal">So, that’s how <span style="font-weight: bold;">Word on the Street</span> is going to work. Whoever finds the Word on the Street and posts it to this blog first gets a $20 gift certificate to the Tulsa-based restaurant or coffee house of his/her choice.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Chester's word of the day</span>: Go!<br /></p>
