Hi Tulsa, we made it to Thursday!
In today’s fun-for-grown-ups edition: Aviation legacy meets space ambitions, Vegan Brews N BBQ, and Robert Plant with Saving Grace + plenty of reasons to put on real pants this week.
|
📰 In the news
Aviation legacy meets space ambitions: Tulsa’s space roots are back in the spotlight as Jim Bridenstine plans a propulsion test facility at Tulsa International Airport, a move supporters say could attract space firms and jobs — see what’s planned for Tulsa.
Preserving the classic glow: City of Tulsa is rewriting Route 66 neon sign rules after projects skipped neon, allowing glass tubes lit by LED filament or traditional gas. Grants cover up to 50% — get all the details.
Community drop-off day set: Tulsa’s Big Spring Clean will return to Expo Square on Saturday, March 21. It will accept recyclables at Fair Meadows infield through Gate 1, hosted by KRMG and The Met — see where and when.
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:

It feels like there’s still time…until there isn’t
In partnership with TenSixtySix Tax Advisory Group

And if you’ve fallen behind or have unfiled returns hanging over your head? They help people get compliant every single day. No lectures. No judgment. Just a clear plan and a friendly expert at the table.
Their calendar fills up quickly as the deadline gets closer. If you want peace of mind before April arrives, now’s the time to lock in your spot.

💎 Local business spotlight
Your midweek curtain call: Theatre Tulsa lights up the week with community-powered casts, sharp show selections, and musicals that linger for the right reasons. Expect stories that speak to you, then settle in as the company handles the details and keeps the magic going.
Chili-craving check-in: Coney I-Lander keeps Tulsa’s coney tradition humming with grilled dogs in soft steamed buns, mustard, onions, and a secret-family chili that disappears two at a time. Ideal for a quick morale lift midweek or an easy dinner when cooking ambition calls it quits.
Where book magic happens: Owned by the Tulsa Literary Coalition, Magic City Books keeps Tulsa reading with sharp staff picks, a cozy Algonquin Room for author events, and browseable shelves that nudge TBRs higher. It’s the kind of spot where a new favorite seems to find you.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
