Good morning, Tulsa.

Hundreds of Tulsa cyclists rode in the Blazing Saddles event on August 9th at 5:47 p.m. to support suicide prevention and honor loved ones by riding between 19 and 100 miles; funds raised will go to local mental health resources, outreach programs and an assist workshop as organizer Bill Taitano said he formed his team after his daughter died.

Northside Neighbors and the Phoenix Development Council held their Community on the Corner event on Aug 9 — where north Tulsa residents at 36th Street North and Peoria gave clear input on adding services like banks, tech centers and groceries — while plans for 100 new affordable apartments across the street support further local development.

Tulsa Police are seeking help to identify a man and a woman who allegedly stole a wallet from a woman's purse while she dined at Queenie's on April 11 — the man is described as Black, 40 to 50 years old and wearing glasses, and later a woman used the victim's credit card to purchase $2,500 in gift cards at Walgreens.

On August 9th, more than 120 calls for service were received at downtown Tulsa's bus station, with reports linking drug use, homelessness and violent incidents—TPD responded by deploying bicycle officers to address the surge in crime.
