This actually is the Center of the Universe (
http://urbane-chaos.hubpages.com/hub/TulsaCenteroftheUniverse), it's
located in downtown Tulsa (http://osm.org/go/T4_e8jEsA?m=).  There's even a
festival there every summer
(http://centeroftheuniversefestival.com/<http://centeroftheuniversefestival.com/center-universe>).
 CBS even situated a comedy around it (
