15th and Boston-Now and Then

5/16/2016

2016 saw the closure of one of Tulsa's oldest businesses, Miss Jackson's. But one business that started in Miss Jackson's, Mrs. DeHaven's Flower Shop, is still going strong. When the namesake of Miss Jackson's, Nelle Shields Jackson wanted a shop to provide fresh flowers to Tulsa's elite she turned to her friend Josephine DeHaven. In 1905 Mrs. DeHaven's Flower Shop opened in a corner of the upscale Miss Jackson's. However, customer demand grew so quickly that the flower shop had to relocate to larger locations. In 1932 she moved to the 15th and Boston location where the shop has resided for the past eighty-four years.

Here are a few looks into how the corner of 15th and Boston has changed.

My Physics teacher loves the song "Tulsa Time" and I forgot whose song was it. That's all I know as of the moment. I mean I am not sure what else is there to discover about Tulsa. I don't even fully understand what the song is about. I don't know why I am telling the world about this right now. Maybe I just miss my teacher. I am in my thirties now and I think he was also in his thirties last time I saw him in high school. Do you also remember your high school teachers?
