Center of the Universe, Tulsa (Please read the story.)
Center of the Universe, Tulsa (Please read the story.)

The Center of the Universe is a unique attraction in downtown Tulsa on a pedestrian bridge. I've been hearing about this location for years when visiting here and finally got a chance to visit it. There isn't a great view from here, and it is in need of some repair. But when you get here and stand inside of the circle, a smile will appear on your face when you talk. There is a sound anomaly that happens when you talk. Your voice will echo back to you louder than when you spoke. These people allowed me to photograph them to give the picture some perspective.

There is a legend that says if you talk inside the circle, no one will be able to hear what you say. In the TV series "Tulsa King", Sylvester Stallone talks to a lady sitting on a planter box and she tells him the story. He goes into the circle and tries it out. He gets out of the circle, and he asks if she heard him. She didn't. In reality, you can hear what is said in the circle, but your voice will be a little distorted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuMnFaRNTRo Here is a link to the scene if you want to watch it.

Will I come back here again. Probably not, but I had a fun time. It really is a unique place to visit.
