Mike Simons and Ian Maule were on an Interstate 244 overpass with Black Lives Matter protesters when a pickup driver drove through the crowd. They were there when Tulsa Police and protesters clashed in Tulsa s Brookside neighborhood and when tear gas was launched near Woodland Hills Mall.Â

With health experts and government officials urging citizens to remain at home to help slow the spread of coronavirus, it might behoove one to consider taking advantage of the complete holiday meals that many local chefs will prepare for oneâs at-home feasting.
One can order a complete starter-to-dessert meal, or purchase individual items as needed. Most deadlines to place orders are a week before Christmas Day, so the sooner one can order, the better.
