Thursday, February 21, 2013
Bassmaster Classic coverage: Read preview stories, take a Google Earth video tour of Grand Lake and watch interviews with the competitors.
Stroll from store to
store and stop at one
of Utica’s Square’s fine
restaurants when you need a
bite to eat.
Utica Square’s village-like
design was developed to
be inviting to the customer
without alienating neighboring
residents. When it
opened on May 22, 1952,
Utica Square was considered
one of Tulsa’s first suburban
shopping centers.
Today, Utica Square is not
only known for its quality
stores and restaurants but
also its beautifully manicured
gardens and trees.
