Tulsa Donut Shop Thriving After Break-In and Vandalization

Despite being broken into by vandals earlier this month, June’s Donuts and Cafe is open and thriving.

• Dough for Donuts: You’ve probably seen the little pink building at 11th and Detroit in Downtown Tulsa. It’s owners wake up well before dawn to bring you fresh baked donuts each weekday morning. June’s Donuts was able to raise money to quickly reopen after much of their building was destroyed.

• Swag for Shortie: The shop is named after the owner’s cutest little husky, June. You can get an old fashioned glazed donut, iced coffee or a cool t-shirt all in one stop just off the Broken Arrow Expressway Detroit Street exit. Go ahead, stop in, grab a dozen and impress the co-workers today!

The City of Tulsa is Moving Forward With New Public Safety Center

The public safety center will house multiple public safety departments under one roof.

• Safe and Secure: The City has entered into contract to buy the old State Farm headquarters near 51st and 129th in east Tulsa for $25.5M. Who’s moving in? Tulsa Police Department, Fire Department HQ along with area emergency management, City medical and the police department’s Mingo Valley division will move in after the February deal closes.

• Voter Approved: “Voters said loud and clear at the polls in August that they no longer want Tulsa Police leadership working in a failing building, they no longer want Tulsa Fire Department leadership working in a flood plain, and they no longer want Tulsa Area Emergency Management working in a building without reliable utilities during an emergency,” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said. The funds for the move will come from Tulsa’s GO Bond.
