National Geographic recognizes Tulsa as a cultural and innovative hub | News [Video]

TULSA, Okla. — National Geographic recognized Tulsa as a hub for art, culture, and innovation. 

A National Geographic author spoke about his book “Here, Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations” at a book signing at the Gathering Place on Monday and Tulsa was on the list.
