For instance, that drone/helo shot looking straight down at that intersection; that's downtown Tulsa, and the church I went to as a kid is not more than 6-7 blocks from that crossing.

I recognized a lot of those storefronts, signs . . . and I'm pretty sure that crappy motel isn't actually in Tulsa; I think it's in one of the surrounding towns, but I can't believe the damn thing is still there.

I was so interested in trying to figure out where they were in Tulsa, i forgot to actually pay attention to the show the first time. Had to rewatch the episode a couple days ago so I could understand the story.

I visited back there a couple times the last few years, holy shit it's changed. All around and west of Turkey Mountain is fully developed. Bixby and Tulsa are fully joined, and don't get me started east of the mall.

I remember eating at Cheddars the first day it was open and it was the only building around. Now it's solid city to Broken Arrow.

The casino at the bend on south Riverside isn't just double wide trailers anymore, it's a full-blown site. Jenks next to the river is fully developed. My favorite drive that connected Riverside to 121st street, beautiful trees, swamp, amazing ranches and houses, is all gone. It's all city now.

Unreal.
