Here's the Church, Here's the Steeple: Erin Sees Tulsa

UPDATE//Valerie, you are officially the "Tulsa Steeple Know It All," guessing 9 out of 10 of the home of the steeples correctly. Apparently #9 was entirely too difficult. I would apologize, but I like the picture too much to do that. Congrats, Valerie! Wear this title proudly.

For everyone else who is wondering exactly where these steeples belong in this, the greatest city on earth, here are the answers:

1 First United Methodist
2 First Baptist
3 Boston Ave
4 Kirk
5 Vernon AME
6 Holy Family
7 Asbury
8 First Pres
9 Trinity
10 Christ the King

Cheers!

As you well know, there is so much to do and see in Tulsa that sometimes I get overwhelmed with what to share with you each Thursday.

Last week, I was enjoying happy hour with two friends who might, just might, love Tulsa and Oklahoma as much as I do. And I pleaded with them to give me a project for my next installment of Erin Sees Tulsa.

Without even batting an eye and almost in unison, they suggested steeples.

We happened to be sitting at the Boulder Grill (which I might add has the best homemade tater tots EVER and also serves Marshall's beer, a local favorite) and I turn around to see my friends had found their inspiration high in the sky and right across the street.

So, steeples it is, my friends. With a church on every corner and a city that has a rich history in art deco, there are some breathtaking structures that beg to be admired.

But before I divulge just exactly what I saw, I want to make this a guessing game.

Here's how it'll work: I'll show you a steeple and you get to tell me what church it belongs to. And don't even think about contradicting me and telling me that these structures aren't steeples. In my world they are. Period. And it's your job to tell me what church they call home. Fun? Totally.

Let's see how well you know your city. While there is no "prize" for the winner, TDT and I have agreed to crown who ever guesses all 10 correctly the "Tulsa Steeple Know It All."

And by crown we mean, name. It's an honor of the highest, do not be fooled.

Ready? OK!

I know some are harder than others, but do your best and be the first to answer correctly! I will be back next Thursday with the winner and more things for you to see, just you wait.
