James E. McNellie's



I've been having some fun converting digital to sepia. McNellie's is one of a number of good restaurants and/or pubs that have inhabited some of the older buildings in several downtown Tulsa neighborhoods. I think we are going there Saturday evening to eat before the Tulsa Symphony performs. The cars out front would prevent me from claiming this to be a photo from the '30s.

  4. Without the cars, you reallycould get away with telling us this was a vintage photo. Great job on the conversion! The hubby and I will probably be going there next Friday before we go see The Hobbit at the PAC.

  5. Oooo, I like this, Tulsa Gentleman. Since it's called McNellie's is it a pub. Pubs around here (New York City) are called Dempsey's, Erin's Isle, etc. Though my name is Italian, it's my married name... I am a dyed-in the wool Irishman! :)

  6. The sentence should read: "Since it's called McNellie's, is it a pub?

  7. I'm still traumatized by my driving experience: when I saw the picture, the first thing I thought was "how would I parallel park behind that Hummer!" :-D

  9. Wow, I just love these two sepia conversions. They look GREAT. Usually it doesn't do much for me. You've got to go back when there are no cars!

  11. Yes, that does have a 1930's charm. Amazing how sepia can do that to a town.

  12. This restaurant building stands a historic background of being the oldest restaurant building in the Tulsa City. It has been renovated now and reviving the older tradition in town.
