I recently went by Tin Star restaurant in Riverside Market and saw the notice on the door that it has closed.
Back at the office I found a newspaper clipping from the World's Business section from Oct. 6, 2004, announcing the upcoming opening of Tin Star, a promising Tex-Mex outfit featuring unusual items such as Japanese bread crumbs and fruit pico.
What caught my eye, however, was the big story on the page with the headline "Crude jumps $1.18 to top $51 per barrel."
Allow me to quote from that story:
"Gasoline prices stormed to $1.89 a gallon at most Tulsa stations Tuesday while oil prices charged past $51 a barrel to a record high.
"In Tulsa, the dominant price of regular unleaded fuel has risen 14 percent, or 24 cents, in just two weeks, including a 10-cent jump Tuesday.
"The record high for the Tulsa area is $1.91, set in May, according to AAA-Oklahoma, a travel club."
