Urban Tulsa, which is that city’s alternative weekly, points out some of the best ways to keep cool in Oklahoma’s notorious summer heat with a 1950s and ’60s flair. Many of these escapes are on old Route 66.

For movie-watching, there is the circa 1951 Admiral Twin Drive-In and the restored, circa 1928 Circle Cinema. There are diners, such as Tally’s, the Metro Diner and the Blue Dome Diner. Writer Claudette Lancaster also provides a history of these types of places.
