Utica Square, midtown Tulsa's finest shopping centre
In midtown Tulsa, we refer to Utica Square as "The Square," as it's been our beloved shopping center since the early 1950s.
It's an outdoor shopping centre and resembles a village of yesteryear with many landscaped gardens, fountains and multiple chiming clocks. It's an enjoyable experience to just visit "The Square" on a nice afternoon and walk past the shops, visiting with friends you will surely meet there.
The Square fits in nicely with our midtown Tulsa community because of its charm, history and aging trees - it feels like part of our neighborhood. Many shops and restaurants are locally-owned - there is a great mix of our hometown favorites and national chains.
Utica Square, midtown Tulsa's finest shopping centre
You can do everything at Utica Square in one trip. You can purchase groceries, wine, fill your prescriptions, buy greeting cards and purchase a birthday gift. Of course, you can dine in many fine restaurants, shop for clothing and register for your bridal or baby shower.
Utica Square has become much more than a place to shop. During the summer, hundreds of midtown neighbors head to The Square every Thursday evening for "Summer's 5th Night," where we enjoy a free outdoor concert, bring our picnics and catch up on neighborhood news.
An annual event not to be missed is "Lights On!" when over 700,000 Christmas lights throughout the shopping centre are turned on Thanksgiving evening. Santa is there to kick off the holiday season and we sing holiday carols.
I'm not sure how many years we've enjoyed "Art in the Square," but it's a free event where local artists showcase their work along the walkways at the Square. I actually stumbled into this event many years ago while having breakfast at the Wild Fork with a girlfriend. Art in the Square is scheduled this year for Saturday, October 2, 2010, from 10am to 5pm.

Utica Square is nice Lori. Occasionally my wife will visit Tulsa and spend some time (and $$$) there!
It's not hard, Bill. And I only live a mile away!! :=)
I LOVE that shopping center! I stayed in Claremore, for a short time while taking care of some family matters, several years ago. I discovered that little square and it is so quaint, and sweet and has all the charm of the 50's!
Cheryl - I LOVE your photo!! Claremore is a cool town also - thankfully a short drive to Tulsa. Should you make it back this way, look me up!
Wow !! What a very nice place to go shopping...............!!!!
Lori,
Have been to The Square. My daughter lives in Stroud and often shops in Tulsa. Hey, I have clients in Claremore. Have been there too.. in fact have a couple of couples clients that live in Claremore.
See you're not very far from me.. . or I'm not very far from you... road goes both ways. Did you and hubby get to the area for some relaxation time?
@Lori: Thanks for the comment on my photo, (I took it myself!) Don't have any connection to Tulsa/Claremore anymore but if I ever make it back that way, I will check in with you!
@Judi - wow, small state. :=) I drive to Stroud for board meetings often. No, we haven't gotten away yet - the Greek festival is upon us, September 16-18. Some day . . .
@Cheryl - very awesome photo!!
