While walking on Boston Avenue in Tulsa you’ll come upon an inconspicuous site. Look down and you’ll find a big worn-out brick circle that comes in at around 20 inches in diameter. At the center of that circle is another, smaller, concrete circle that all the bricks wind around. This spot is known as the Sonic Center of the Universe.
