BOK Tower (originally One Williams Center) was constructed in 1976 for The Williams Companies Inc. a petroleum producer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. John Williams, the CEO at the time, liked the look of the recently completed World Trade Center so much that he hired the original architect to build essentially a half-scale version of WTC Tower 1.

The lobby even has marble walls and wall hanginga similar to the old World Trade Center.

        I ended up in St. Louis. Missouri as a state isn’t super great and has a lot of the same people as Oklahoma but St. Louis is like a bastion in a sea of red and a really affordable place to live. Oklahoma is probably a bit cheaper but areas of St. Louis are surprisingly cheap and it’s not the dangerous hell hole it’s portrayed as. I live in an area similar urbanwise as like broken arrow or something and it’s just quiet and chill here all the time

      St. Francis here! I still think Tulsa is Oklahoma’s crown jewel and the nicest place I’ve ever lived or visited.

        Yeah Tulsa really isn’t the worst place in the world, I don’t love the state but I’m a little soft for Tulsa. There are a lot of good people in that city
