The Pickup Stands On Business

It's flash sale time, people. Get your first subscription for over half off.

6:33 AM CDT on March 26, 2026

We at The Pickup believe in selling a quality product at an affordable price. Perhaps this is an old-fashioned idea. It certainly would've been much more lucrative for us to vibecode some patchy healthcare app or get elected to Congress and start insider trading rather than tell stories about Tulsa and its culture on the internet.

But alas, here we are, telling humble stories about our neighbors for $5.99 a month, which is slightly more than the cost of a visit to Reasor's on Sushi Wednesday (before sales tax) and far less than the cost of a subscription to the Tulsa World ($14.99 per month). Six bucks a month is, in our opinion, a pretty reasonable ask.

But, hey! We get that it's not always easy to commit to another subscription service, which is why we'll lower the introductory pricing from time to time, to give new subscribers a little runway to determine for themselves if our subscription is worth the cost. And now is such a time. Starting today and running through this weekend, your first subscription to The Pickup is just $29 for the year, or $1 for your first four months!

Is now a particularly good time to become a paying subscriber to The Pickup? Well, no. Gas costs nearly a dollar per gallon more than it did a month ago, and Tulsa is probably no less or more interesting a place to live. But becoming a subscriber will let you read a shit-ton of good stories about Tulsa, and entitle you to our weekly Tulsa Picks newsletter, which is extremely convenient! So give us a chance:

(This deal will goes away Sunday evening at 11:59pm Central Standard Time.)

If you liked this story, please share it! Your referrals help The Pickup reach new readers, and they'll be able to read a few articles for free before they encounter our paywall.
