- Tulsa, Oklahoma - Center of the Universe
It is on a pedestrian bridge, and is in fact a manhole cover -- why anyone would want to put a manhole on a bridge is beyond me. When you stand on it and talk you hear a loud reverberating echo coming from beneath you (quite a spooky experience). The site is quite popular with the locals, especially about 2:30 in the morning after the Cain's has let out for the night.

- Tulsa, Oklahoma - Sonic "Center of the Universe"
On a pedestrian bridge in downtown Tulsa, there is what the locals call the Center of the Universe. If you stand in a specific spot and speak, your voice is amplified and it echoes. I'm told it has something to do with the surrounding buildings. I would like to know where it is so that I can go there and let the Universe revolve around ME!
[KDLaster, 06/11/2000] The Driller gets occasional shirts painted on to promote local charities or events. The only way to appreciate him is to stop in the small lot by his feet. There is no stopping or parking on the street in front. You'll probably need less than 10 minutes to get your photos. Parking can be difficult in the small lot at busy times when events are being held at the Tulsa Expo Center.
