Our Mission
Utown's mission is to inform and empower communities so THAT they're awesome each and every day.
How it Started
Wrapping up dinner one night at a downtown Tulsa, OK restaurant, Nick and some friends wanted to keep the party going. Leaving the restaurant they struggled to find something of interest before randomly stumbling upon a free concert where a local musician was killing it! The need for communities to better share and explore social happenings was discussed, and utown was born.
