Tulsa is a city on the Arkansas River, in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It’s known for its art deco architecture, mostly in the central Deco District. Landmarks like the Philcade and Philtower buildings reflect a 20th-century construction boom fueled by the prosperous local oil industry. The Philbrook Museum of Art is housed in an Italianate villa that was once the home of a local oil magnate.
Tulsa lies in northeastern Oklahoma, within the state's Green Country, and at the convergence of the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau. The wide and shallow Arkansas River runs through the metro, and numerous lakes, reservoirs, smaller rivers, and wooded hills enliven the landscape.
Winters are cool to mild. Being exposed to plains winds, arctic freezing is not unknown, but it does not last long. There is not much snow, just a few inches each year, typically, but ice storms are more of a concern. The months April through June are stormy, and, Tulsa being in Tornado Alley, twisters will make an appearance - though they tend to appear in the flatter countryside. Summers are hot. It will often be above 90 degrees from May through September. Fall is the best time of year: mild temperatures, a nice breeze (all of Oklahoma is breezy), and changing tree colors. Tulsa has over 225 days of sunshine annually. In all, the city receives an average of 40 inches of precipitation each year, which helps keep Tulsa and Green Country green.
There are more nearly a million people in the metro area. Tulsa is often paired with its neighbor Broken Arrow, itself the fourth largest city in the state, though Tulsa is clearly the big brother. Here you will find a combination of western, Midwestern, and southern charm, along with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The people love their city and are welcoming and eager to help you find your way. You may notice that Tulsa has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco design in the country, and other mid-century architecture, a result of having been a boom-town from the 1920s through 1950s. Oil was what made Tulsa. Wealthy barons such as Frank Phillips built stately mansions for themselves but also beautified the city along the way.
As a result the city has a skyline that, until recently, bested Oklahoma City's. Tulsa likes to think of itself as the cultural capital of the state, boasting notable museums, universities, restaurants, festivals, quirky neighborhoods, and especially music - particularly country and blues musicians. Stars from Roy Clark to Leon Russell to Garth Brooks all made their start here.

Golden Driller of Tulsa - Facts, About and History
Thanks for watching...
The Golden Driller is a 75-foot-tall (23 m), 43,500-pound (19,700 kg) statue of an oil worker, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is the fifth-tallest statue in the United States.
It was originally built in 1952 by the Mid-Continent Supply Company of Fort Worth for the International Petroleum Exposition. Six years later, it was temporarily erected again for the 1959 show. Due to the positive attention it attracted, the company donated the statue to the Tulsa County Fairgrounds Trust Authority which had it anatomically redesigned and permanently installed in front of the Tulsa Expo Center for the 1966 International Petroleum Exposition. The statue's right hand rests on an oil derrick which had been moved from a depleted oil field in Seminole, Oklahoma.
An inscription at the base of the statue reads: The Golden Driller, a symbol of the International Petroleum Exposition. Dedicated to the men of the petroleum industry who by their vision and daring have created from God's abundance a better life for mankind.
In 1979, the Golden Driller was adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature as the state monument.
As part of an online promotional contest sponsored by Kimberly-Clark in October 2006, the Golden Driller was named the grand prize as a top ten quirkiest destination in the United States, winning its nominator a $90,000 international vacation for two.

Police chase shootout in Rock Falls | January 26, 2018
*** New compilations only on PATREON: ***
Police chase shootout in Rock Falls, Illinois, United States, January 26, 2018 - Rock Falls police Monday released police dash cam video of the Jan. 26 slow police chase and police shooting of driver Nathaniel T. Nate Edwards, which the Whiteside County attorney deemed was justifiable self-defense.
Rock Falls Sgt. Jonathan Cater shot Edwards, 43, of Sterling, five times in the back around 7:45 p.m. that Friday in the driveway of 1304 Franklin St. as Edwards was backing his Cadillac toward Cater and another officer.
According to the video, a report released June 29 by Whiteside County State's Attorney Terry Costello, and previous reports:
Edwards was attending a party at the home on Franklin, left and was returning when officer Dustin Sugars spots him on Dixon Avenue weaving and speeding 41 mph in a 30-mph zone.
Edwards ignores Sugars' attempts to pull him over; Whiteside County Deputy Sean Coutts and Cater and officer Ethan Riley, whom Cater was training that night, join the police chase, which drops down to about 21 mph.
Edwards can be seen using his turn signal and slowing at a yield sign, but he continues to ignore the emergency lights and twice drives around squad cars attempting to block his path.
Three-and-a-half minutes after Sugars tries to initiate the traffic stop, Edwards pulls into the driveway. He ignores three commands to get out of the car, and responds to Sugars' warning, made with gun drawn, that you're going to get shot with kill me, followed by expletives.
Then, after being told do not back up, he revs the engine, puts the car in reverse and accelerates toward Cater, who is standing behind the car on the passenger side, gun drawn. Riley is behind the car on the driver's side, also with gun drawn.
Cater moves out of the way and fires six shots into the back window, five of which hit Edwards, who puts the car in park before slumping over. Police pull him from the car and perform CPR until the ambulance arrives.
It takes about 46 seconds from the time Edwards pulls into the driveway around 7:09 p.m. until the shots are fired. He is pronounced dead at 8:48 p.m. at CGH Medical Center.
Toxicology results showed Edwards, who had a long history of drug- and alcohol-related traffic offenses, was drunk and high on marijuana at the time; his blood alcohol content was .189, more than double the legal limit to drive.
