The long awaited Landmark of the Month for February has finally been added. It took a long time because the judging was difficult; a lot of great contenders. That and it took me forever to get around to getting an adequate picture.

Well, as the name of this entry suggests, the February Landmark of the Month is the Price Tower Arts Center. The admission price is in fact quite reasonable. Four dollars for adults, three dollars for senior citizens, and free for children under 16.

The Price Tower was selected for February because it is a really great place to spend an evening. The architecture is exquisite, the history is fascinating and the ambiance is marvelous.

If your ever in the Bartlesville area around dinner time, I recommend checking out the Price Tower’s Copper Bar and Restaurant. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time, though (Yes, Oklahoma has a restaurant that you have to make reservations for).

If you go on a Thursday, you might just get lucky to be there during one of their Coppertones: A Night of Jazz nights. They serve great food, drinks and feature stars of the local jazz scene performing live.

Oklahoma State University is still reeling from the recent defeat in the bedlam basketball game against OU.

Monday night, I was frequently bombarded, as I ran my nightly errands, with people shouting, grunting and chanting at the TV.

I couldn’t escape it when I walked into a local campus store or when I was in the anti-sports zone of my apartment. I could still hear my roommate getting excited over some guy throwing a ball through a hoop.
