After the goats got a refreshing drink and a rest in the shade, our next stop was the steps of "City Hall" which is actually First Christian Church.
As we were getting photos in front of "City Hall" our attention was grabbed by an uproar across the street. Catty-corner to the church was a Catholic school where the kids were in the playground for recess. They'd spied our goats and were clamoring along the fence to get a closer look. Not wanting to disappoint them, we moseyed over to say hi. The volume was incredible, as was the number of hands poking through the chain link. Every kid was trying to shout his or her question a little louder than their classmates. I'm not sure why Finn and Sputnik put up with it, but they were incredibly good-natured and sidled right up to the fence so the kids could reach them. Phil and I felt shell-shocked afterwards, but I get the feeling those kids will never forget the day the goats visited their school at recess.
Next up was Kuni's Karate and Weird Al's apartment.
Some trees and a big truck kept us from getting a good shot, and the building looks a bit different as it's undergoing some remodeling, but this is the place!
Finally, the pinnacle of our UHF tour (drum roll please!)...
The UHF transmitter tower!
It looks just like it did in the movie except the little shack is long gone.
Even the parking lot is still there!
We loved that the registration number ends in "62". For those who haven't seen the movie, it was about TV station U62.
Phil snagged a piece of the parking lot to take home as a precious memento of our wonderful visit to the UHF filming locations in Tulsa, OK.
