Buck Atom: Space Cowboy Muffler Man

Such a cool addition to Tulsa, and right across the street from the vintage Meadow Gold Milk sign. I went there with several friends on Mothers Day afternoon, a day or two after the grand opening. Because of the holiday, it wasn't too crowded, but the gift shop was open. There is also a popsicle stand, but it may just be open for summer.

Buck Atoms, Space Cowboy

Route 66 just got a brand new attraction! The dream of Mary Beth Babcock, owner of Buck Atoms Cosmic Curios (a gift shop celebrating the magic of Route 66) in Tulsa, has come to life in her partnership with Mark Cline. Buck Atoms is a 21 foot tall space cowboy. He's spectacular.
