📰 In the news
Design shaped by advocates: Bales Park’s new inclusive playground has opened in Tulsa, funded with $750,000 from the Sanford and Irene Burnstein Family Foundation, replacing aging equipment and welcoming kids of all abilities — get all the details.
Fresh food within reach: Downtown Tulsa is set to get its first full service grocery in decades, as AJ Johnson plans a 14,000 square foot Oasis Fresh Market near 6th and Cincinnati — get all the details.
Recreating a perilous road trip: At Greenwood Rising, the Green Book Road Trip brings Jim Crow travel history to life with storytelling and audience participation, revealing how Black travelers searched for safe places on roads — learn more about the project.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
