Luck Be a Lady. Older Tulsans may remember the thriving downtown shopping district that withered away post-WWII. One of the popular stores there was Seidenbach's, a department store that sold upscale goods for almost 40 years. Revisit the mall madness of yesteryear with an exhibit honoring the store at Tulsa Historical Society, 2445 S. Peoria. Visitors can see a selection of clothing, hats and accessories from the Seidenbach family as well as advertisements and photos. There's plenty of time to see the fascinating display as it hangs through January 2010. Visit tulsahistory.org or call 712-9484 for more information.

Beer Goggles. There's just no denying that the Brady Arts district is a hip little corner of downtown with its stock very much on the rise. A stalwart of the area, Caz's Pub, 21 E.
