Carson Attractions in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was the foremost ticket facility for events at the Maxwell Convention Center (now Cox Business Center) for over forty years. The story begins with the manager of famed Irish opera singer John Francis McCormack, who is given credit for the beginning of Carson Attractions in 1916. John McCormack was going out on tour for the first time in the United States and his manager wanted someone on the local scene to handle the promotion. The manager knew of Robert Boice Carson who was the music director at Kendall College (which later became the University of Tulsa). Robert Carson said, “We don’t know anything about presenting or promoting events,” and the manager said, “We will teach you.” Eventually, over the years, Robert and Beatrice Carson became involved in promoting many opera singers and choruses who were on tour. The events were held at Convention Hall, 105 West Brady, which became the Tulsa Municipal Theatre, and when the Mayo family bought it, it became the Brady Theatre or “the ole lady on Brady.” Richard (Dick) Carson, the grandson of Robert and Beatrice, spent many days in the 1940s as a youngster in Convention Hall while his parents also became involved in the business. And it is Dick Carson who becomes the storyteller of Carson Attractions—which includes Elvis, James Brown, Hello Dolly, ticket scalping, stock car racing, and hard work.

Anna America took the helm at Tulsa’s Parks and Recreation department in the fall of 2018. Despite being relatively new at this position, Anna is certainly no stranger to life in the public eye.This episode of Tulsa Talks is brought to you by Celebrate LIFE, March 7 at the Cox Business Center, a gala benefiting LIFE Senior Services.You’re listening to Tulsa Talks, a TulsaPeople podcast, episode 2.4. I’m Anna Bennett.Today, it’s "thought for your thoughts" with the director of Parks & Rec, Anna America. Then detective Ian Swart is on the case, investigating a local hill turned literary landmark: Holmes Hill.That’s Anna America, who took the helm at Tulsa’s Parks and Recreation department in the fall of 2018. Despite being relatively new at this position, Anna is certainly no stranger to life in the public eye. Most recently, Anna was executive director of the Child Abuse Network, and has also been the executive director for Up With Trees and Tulsa’s Communities in Schools. She also sat on the City Council from 2014-2018, resigning in order to take the position as parks director. So yeah. Anna America is definitely Tulsa’s own Leslie Knope.Your average Tulsan thinks of every park, greenspace and playground as part of a monolithic “public space.” But the reality of Tulsa’s parks is a little more complicated. Plus, a segment on obscure Tulsa history that’s even nerdier than playing Cones of Dunshire. Ian Swart, the resident Sherlockian of the Tulsa Historical Society, is here with the story.Thanks so much for Listening to Tulsa Talks!

Born in McAlester, Oklahoma, Robert (Bob) Lawton Jones received one of the more elaborate educations in modernist design. It started when he decided to head out to Chicago, reasoning that an aspiring architect should make his way to the “most exciting city in architecture.” In 1949, he studied at the University of Notre Dame in nearby South Bend, Indiana, while working for Chicago firms such as Perkins + Will.In 1951, he began graduate school at the Illinois Institute of Technology, learning from the dean of “less is more,” Mies van der Rohe. And if that weren’t enough, he then earned a Fulbright scholarship and studied in Germany under Egon Eiermann, one of Germany’s most prominent postwar architects.He came back to Tulsa in 1954 to design a civic center master plan. In 1957 he joined two local partners to open the architectural firm known as Murray Jones Murray. Their work includes the Cox Business Center, First National Bank Tower, Center Plaza Apartments, Bishop Kelley High School, the terminal at the Tulsa International Airport and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Oklahoma City.The firm reached its peak in the early ’80s. Soon after, Jones began an eleven-year teaching professorship at the University of Oklahoma. He also served as campus planner for the University of Tulsa and retired from architecture in 1997.Bob Jones was ninety-three when he died September 14, 2018.

You may know her as the Kevin Bacon of Tulsa, the former executive director of TYPros, or as the founder of Zakerion Strategies and Consulting, but title aside, Shagah Zakerion might just be Tulsa’s biggest fan, and the city’s fiercest advocate. Shagah’s unique resume and passion for the city have made her the perfect booster for Tulsa’s latest up-and-coming development. The Arena District Master Plan is a vision for the 30-block Arena District, located on the western side of Downtown Tulsa, Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad to the north and west, Boulder Avenue to the east, and 11th Street to the south. It contains some of downtown’s largest convening places — the BOK Center, the Cox Business Center, the Paige Belcher building, the Central Library, yet is far less developed than other downtown districts. Over the past eight months, a group of dedicated City Staff, community representatives and a consultant team — including Shagah — have been hard at work developing a strategic plan to reposition and revitalize the Arena District. This re-imagining is supported by Vision Tulsa, an $884 million sales tax renewal package approved by voters in 2016, is making substantial investments in economic development, education, public safety, streets and transportation needs citywide. The final master plan open house was held of September 26, and the official unveiling will be sometime this month. Lucky for us, Shagah is offering a sneak peek at the ambitious vision outlined by the Master Plan. Follow Shagah on LinkedIn, on Twitter and Instagram.

Today I’m back to talk about a fantastic event that’s coming up here in a few weeks. Angela Evans, who works in the marketing department for WildBrew, joined me recently to talk about the event and what you need to know about it. They don’t call it the greatest party ever hatched for nothing. WildBrew is a fundraiser for the Sutton Avian Research Center located in Bartlesville. This is the 20th year for this festival, making it the oldest craft beer festival in Oklahoma! The event is on Saturday, August 25th at the Cox Business Center downtown.  Over 50 local and non-local breweries and 50 amazing restaurants will be in attendance for this wonderful indoor festival. Here’s what a ticket to this festival will get you: All the beer tastings that you can responsibly handle All the food from all the restaurants. “Over 50 breweries and 50 restaurants will be in attendance.” General admission tickets are $65.00 and get you in for three hours from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The patron-level tickets get you in an hour early and get you into a special area for an additional hour. In addition to having a heck of a time, your ticket purchase will fund some amazing research. The Sutton Avian Research Center played a crucial role in bringing the bald eagle off of the endangered animal list. More recently, they’ve been working with the Greater Prairie Chicken and the Masked Bobwhite Quail. For the Masked Bobwhite Quail, they incubate eggs, hatch them, then take the chicks to Mexico to mate and become released into the wild. To get tickets to this wonderful event, head on over to wildbrew.org. Experience the restaurants, the beers, and the ciders. It’s going to be a great time and we would love to see you there. We’re very excited to sponsor this event. If you have any other questions about the event or about real estate in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I had the opportunity to ask Carey some questions about her involvement with The Parent Child Center of Tulsa. Her and her husband, Brett Baker, are Co-chairs for Toyland Ball 2018. The Toyland Ball, held every January, is The Parent Child Center of Tulsa’s annual signature fundraising event. This black tie gala featuring a whimsical theme offers an elegant evening of dinner and dancing, with a live auction. I caught up with Carey at the Toyland Ball Stock the Bar Party where attendees bring a bottle of wine valued at $50 or more to be auctioned off at the Toyland Ball 2018 in January. In past years, the wine auctioned off at the event in January has raised between $8,000 and $10,000 for The Parent Child Center of Tulsa. That is just the money raised from auctioning the wine. There are other items that are auctioned off that raise even more money for the cause. For those of you who may not know, the mission of The Parent Child Center of Tulsa is to prevent child abuse and neglect through education, treatment, and advocacy. People who have been victims of abuse or neglect are given education and counseling so that they are able to end the cycle. Many people only know what they’ve been taught, so The Parent Child Center of Tulsa aims to reverse this. If you’re interested in attending, the Toyland Ball auction will take place on January 20th, 2018 at the Cox Business Center. For tickets, visit www.ParentChildCenter.org. You can also become a patron sponsor by donating $1,000 for two people. At the event, there will be raffles, an auction, and a live band. Also, all of the proceeds go directly to the counseling funds for The Parent Child Center of Tulsa. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
