Travel Tips for The Best Sofi stadium Tour Experience
Football fan or not - Sofi stadium is the Grand Canyon of sports arenas. YOU HAVE TO VISIT THE STADIUM. Make a reservation online and make sure to check the details. All tours take you behind the scenes and inside of a VIP lounge, the Google Integrated Technology Center and different stadium levels. On many days you can also experience the stadium like a player, take part in the exciting tunnel run, play on the field and even visit the Rams locker room and owner's lounge. In one word: EPIC! Field access is only possible when no other events are set up on the date.
What a great gift idea for the men and sports fans in your life. However, I am a woman and not a great sports fan and I had a blast!

Visit Tulsa - Greenwood Rising History Center on the Anniversary of Black Wall Street Massacre
"NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS FACED CAN BE CHANGED BUT NOTHING CAN BE CHANGED UNTIL IT IS FACED"
JAMES BALDWIN.
May 31st marks the anniversary of the Black Wall Street Massacre. The Greenwood neighborhood commemorates this event with Legacy Fest. And Juneteenth is just around the corner.
I am German, I grew up with the concept of "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" - coping with the past and James Baldwin's words resonate deeply with me.
I toured Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center in February 2022. It is No 7 on USA Today's Best New Attractions List. I thought I knew a lot about the massacre from news reports and documentary films but visiting the center in the location where the events occurred gave me so much more context, insight and understanding.
I urge you to visit and experience it for yourself. Make a reservation online, the one-hour tour itself is free, family friendly, interactive and immersive. It will transport you back in time. You can explore more history of Greenwood in the final hall of the exhibit, read historic news reports, learn about residents of the 1920s, the rebuilding of Black Wall Street and the fate of survivors and descendants.
The center also presents special events and art exhibits. Parking in the area is easy and mostly free.
Opening hours vary according to weekday. The center is closed on Tuesdays. Their website gives more details: www.greenwoodrising.org.
The best fried chicken is served right across the street at Wanda J's. In the words of Terry Baccus - food is the best way to learn about another culture and make friends.
Hope and Growth is what Tulsa is all about and that's what I love about T-Town.
Thank you for listening.
I am Marion and this is Let's Travel!

Great Memorial Day Weekend Fun: Los Angeles Fleet Week 2022
What a great way to spend some family time on Memorial Day weekend. Fleet Week is taking place at the historic San Pedro Waterfront. The event is very well organized, with ample parking, a free shuttle service and lots of interactive, educational fun things to do. I sat in a helicopter, played on a weapon simulator, toured the USS Essex and took lots of selfies.
