Today S and I went to Bartlesville to Price Tower. We took a tour of the tower that included the top floors which used to be the private offices and apartments; that was very neat as we've been there before but only up to the second floor which is mostly gallery space. We also ate lunch today at Copper, the restaurant on the 15th/16th floor of the tower. The waitress was very nice and gave us a free dessert for no particular reason. For those not from around these parts, the Price Tower is Frank Lloyd Wright's tallest building, built for the Price Company in the 1950s. It was office and retail space for a while, then bought by Phillips, largely abandoned and near to being razed, and then Phillips turned it over to an arts foundation which has done a lot of restoration. It's pretty cool inside, you'd just have to see it to appreciate it.

Oh man, my brother took me there once when I was about 14. I LOVED it! I've been wanting to go back this last year or so. Then I saw in a magazine that they built or are building a hotel within the building. Did you see anything about that?

The Inn at Price Tower takes up 6 floors now. The pictures of the hotel interiors looked cool, but I'm sure it costs a fortune to stay there.

S lived there as a child and always wanted to to go up in it but never got to, so I was glad we got to go clear to the top and look out.
