As Local As It Gets — Rob Stuart III of Chimera

Today in Downtown Tulsa: Your home away from home, Chimera!

Rob Stuart III first opened Chimera in 2013, and it’s been a pillar of the Arts District ever since. In today’s episode, Rob talks about his original dream of establishing a European-style cafe in Tulsa, and we talk about what it is that makes Chimera such an effective “home away from home” for so many Tulsans. We also share stories of how places like Chimera bring people together who would never see each other otherwise.

Plus, don’t miss what’s happening downtown this week, including:

  • A free outdoor movie
  • A storytelling competition
  • A free, in-person reality dating show
  • A swing dance party
  • A guided coffee tasting
  • 3 free musical performances
