This Week in Sapulpa History: “The largest liquor and gambling crackdown in several years”
Rachel Whitney, Curator, Sapulpa Historical Museum. There have been many stories of Sapulpa and Creek County being known for its vices of liquor and gambling.

Show Review: Dave Hause at Spaceship Earth Coffee in McAlester, OK
As I’ve gotten older, sometimes when I go to shows I wish they’d sell coffee to keep me going throughout the show.

Opioid settlement fuels treatment center
PARK HILL – The $25 million price tag for a new drug and alcohol treatment center is paid for by opioid manufacturers the Cherokee Nation sued in 2017.
