I've never been to Tulsa but they really do have some show stopping landmarks for a less prominent city. That tower is one of them (a 667 foot tower in a metro that had maybe 600,000 people in 1976 would have been quite a sight). Another one that comes to mind is the Cesar Pelli-designed BOK Centre arena. Early on in the Jets 2.0 days their ECHL affiliate played there... must have been a rare example, possibly the only example, of a ECHL team having a much nicer and bigger arena than their NHL parent!
