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. It’s been done before, Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ used to sell coffee drinks during their Summer shows, and very rare other venues have too. Obviously, it isn’t a big selling point at a show, but for me, drinking coffee and listening to music go together perfectly.
