The only thing you need is an official ID. I used my drivers license. I walked in and the employees were super helpful. They got me checked in while I filled out an absentee ballot form. Then they have me the voting form and I entered it into the machine myself. There is lots of space inside with tables, chairs, and plenty of pens to use. Like Sarah said in her review, it look less than 5 minutes! I might make it a habit from now on. Highly recommend!

my library experience today was a two-parter of sorts. since i'd planned to go to the grocery store…read morein the same direction from where i live, i'd also brought a book to drop off on the way. that leads to a good opportunity to highlight the library drop-off bin on the front exterior, which is open for dropping off books at all hours. furthermore, though i've seen other libraries with drop-off bins, none i've yet seen is as creative as the one at nathan hale, which is an open shark mouth, and makes for a fascinating reflection on to what you may feed knowledge. then, on the way home from the grocery store, i returned to check if either of the holds i'd requested online were available, and if the library restocked the la semana newspaper i've been reading in the last couple years. leaving the groceries i'd bought under a bench on the outside of the library, i found inside that one of the books i'd requested was available, only days after requesting a hold on the book, and the newspaper was already stocked, on only the second day the weekly edition has been updated. additionally, i noticed a bulletin about muscogee creek freedmen history geneology from a speaker whose name i've seen as a guest on a radio show, and such a speaking event is reflective to me of the kind of inclusion of ideas and historical acknowledgement the library attempts to cultivate, with the muscogee creek freedmen history being of specific significance in part because of the location of the library location on muscogee creek reservation land. and lastly, the guest service i received was welcoming and kind as usual. though the librarian who greeted me by the door was someone i've not seen much if at all at the location, she gave me a warm welcome. and i also recognized a librarian i've seen there more often, who was assisting another guest. and such a dynamic of a veteran paired with a newcomer is one i've noticed at the library location, which keeps the atmosphere fresh with ideas and personalities while continually delivering excellent guest service.

WHY I HATE THE BAPD- A red truck QXE-994 trapped me from leaving the Drive Thru. I honked and he…read moregave me the finger and would not move. Instead of Road Rage, I decided to report him for obstruction of traffic. Ofr. Q. Smith did not care and said QXE-994 "did not break the law." Over the phone, Sgt. Toliver agreed with Smith. Toliver invited me to return to Drive Thru and he will show me how I could have "just went around." I could not go around because there's a cement curb, so, on empty streets, I hurried back over to the restaurant to make my point with Toliver. There was a heavy police presence for some reason and as soon as I got there, Ofr. McNelly pulled me over at the entrance. About 3 or 4 cops were screaming at me, yell-spitting, and blinded me in the eyes with a flashlight. They behaved as if I killed people and caused several accidents. All this Three Stooges nonsense just because I wanted to report QXE-994 for blocking me from leaving. The cops did not care and protected QXE-994 to do it again to someone else. Had I known BAPD were going to be childish, useless, and protect QXE-994's disorderly behavior, I would have Road Raged. When I complained to the police station, Major Garrett said, "There's nothing we can do since it happened on private property." Interesting how a bunch of cops were there when I returned doing something on the same private property. Plus, the internet has lots of videos of the police responding to Drive Thru incidents. So, apparently, if a person decides to park and eat at the Drive Thru window, it's perfectly fine to force the line of cars behind to wait till they're finished eating and drive off at their leisure according to the BAPD. Absolutely ridiculous!! I have more bad stories about the BAPD, but I'm only allowed one complaint.

Important Art Deco Building that will probably not make it. It was designed by Bruce Goff and…read morebuilt in 1927. It has been empty for decades and repeatedly vandalized. I thought only the top floor had been burned, but the vandals have worked overtime, there are many floors with black marks on the stone around the windows. It is in awful shape and would take a lot of money to save it. Most windows are now broken out, graffiti has been covered over on the front of the building. When it was built the first 5 floors were the Chamber of Commerce and the rest of the floors were the Tulsa Club. I think it was sold in a sheriff's sale last year. The owners had over $130,000 fines for code violations. It is in a lot of Art Deco Books, the entry way has been altered from the original design. If you are in a time crunch, I don't recommend more than a quick look at this building. It is in awful shape and isn't that good of an example of Art Deco.
