Tulsa was built by 1920s oil money and the downtown looks the part: Art Deco everywhere, like Gatsby moved to Oklahoma and never left. The Greenwood district, once known as Black Wall Street, now holds one of the most powerful civil rights museums in the country. The Tulsa Remote program pays new arrivals $10,000 to move here, and enough have taken the deal that there's a real scene now. The Gathering Place park alone is worth a flight.
