Photos by @pingjhawk: Riders try out the new whitewater flume on the Arkansas River on Thursday as the city continues to prepare for the opening of Zink Lake. Work is underway to test operations and fine tune the wave-shapers in the new 1,050-foot-long recreational flume on the east bank of the Arkansas River just south of the reconstructed Zink Dam and the new Williams Crossing pedestrian bridge. The lake, flume and pedestrian bridge remain closed to the public but will open Labor Day weekend with the Big Dam Party, a four-day celebration. Read more here: tulsaworld.com/news/local/zi…

In advance of the release of @BassReevesPPlu, the showrunner and a director answered questions about the new miniseries. It’s a story about a former slave-turned-legendary-lawman, but really it’s a story about the human spirit. tulsaworld.com/life-entertai…

Mark Bego wrote a great new book about Joe Cocker, whose career will forever be linked to Leon Russell. In the book: Friends expected Cocker to be aggravated by John Belushi's SNL imitation. Instead, Cocker was flattered. Meet Bego at @TheChurchStudio tulsaworld.com/life-entertai…

A recreational flume for whitewater enthusiasts has been constructed along the east bank of the Arkansas River as the city has rebuilt Zink Dam. The flume stretches approximately 1,000 feet south from just upstream of the new Williams Crossing pedestrian bridge. Initial construction of the flume is completed, a city official said Monday, and the plan is to tune the “wave shapers” in the spring to create desirable waves in the flume’s pools. The flume is scheduled to open for action on Labor Day weekend 2024 along with the new dam and Williams Crossing.
It seems like there is only 1 thing missing for the new whitewater flume on the Arkansas River. Other than the whitewater it looks like it is about done! #tulsa #whitewater

Today is the 49th anniversary of the greatest day in TV history. Viewers were treated to series premieres of “The Rockford Files” and “The Night Stalker” on Sept. 13, 1974. Though the Kolchak ad touts a zombie episode, the premiere episode was actually “The Ripper.” @MavrocksGirl
