Seeing as how the “official” location of the lower 48’s centroid is in
north-central Kansas, I’d have to dispute your claim that Tulsa is the closest

Yeah, second this statement, I regularly take out of town guests to the
Center of the Universe, particularly if we're on a pub crawl and need a cab
(since there's few cabbies that don't know where the center of the universe
or the airport are).

I got Caney and Coffeyville backwards. They're roughly midway between
Coffeyville, KS and South Coffeyville, Oklahoma on US 169, IIRC (
