11th Street examines the historical and economic impact of Route 66 and the Interstate highway system on Tulsa, Oklahoma. Focusing on Tulsa's stretch of Route 66 along 11th Street, the book traces the corridor's growth as part of America's roadside economy and explores how later highway development, including I-44 and I-244, redirected traffic and reshaped neighborhoods, businesses, and patterns of urban development.Drawing on Tulsa's 1957 Major Street and Highway Plan, the work of Route 66 advocate Cyrus Avery, local history, and the author's personal experiences, the book documents the transition from the era of America's Main Street to the modern Interstate system. Topics include downtown Tulsa, roadside commerce, urban planning, the Crosstown Expressway, the influence of Cold War-era transportation policy, and the continuing revival of Route 66 landmarks and historic districts.Part local history and part civic reflection, 11th Street presents Tulsa's experience as part of a broader national story about transportation, progress, and community change in twentieth-century America.

Young, Terry: - "Terry Young was born and raised in Tulsa and has spent a lifetime watching the city change-first from the sidewalks of downtown in the 1950s, later from public office, and always as a student of its history. He served as a Tulsa County Commissioner from 1976 to 1984, as Mayor of Tulsa from 1984 to 1986, and later as Managing Director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, where questions about roads, growth, and public decisions became part of daily work.Young is the author of More Perfect, Domestic Tranquility, and The Error of Good Feelings, historical studies exploring how different choic-es might have shaped American constitutional life. With 11th Street - How the Interstate Highways Changed Route 66 and America's Main Street, he turns to the road he knew as a boy-the diners, neon signs, drive-ins, and license plates from distant states-to examine how inter-state highways reshaped Route 66 and America's Main Street, and how Tulsa still lives with those decisions.He continues to write and research local and national history from Tulsa, where the stories of 11th Street remain close to home."
