Most of us remember when they were 50 cents with home delivery.

Used to sell them door-to-door.....50 cents a dozen, 3/1.00...probably before your time....I sold so many of those things it was ridiculous.

Hey, '64, I saw in the paper today where Al Waintroob died. I knew him back when he had Waintroob's on Commerce and then I worked for him when he had the Men's Dept at AMC. But I saw today that he had gone into your business and I was wondering if you knew him. He was one of those who had a gruff front but was really very nice. I liked him a lot.

I saw Animal House there when it first came out.

Hey, here's a good... one I'm going to post it on the TG&Y thread also. We have talked about the Easter Egg Drop in previous conversations. Well, one year the higher ups at TG&Y decided (74th & Penn) to DROP TURKEYS.....Yep, that's what I said...DROP TURKEYS for Thanksgiving. Thinking this would really be cool....Pen Raised Turkeys don't know how to fly very well....Some flew enough not to go "SPLAT" on the parking lot and some didn't.....Gosh, that was a mess..Turkey's were all over the neighborhood....And the Parking Lot.

Or, how many of you guys from the Southside remember TG&Y (74th & Penn) having an outdoor Rodeo for 89ers Day???? that was fun....

Hey, have you guys been catching the shows on PBS lately. "The Oklahoma I Remember" was nicely done and I kept thinking about you guys as I watched it. The music of the 50's and 60's, DooWop music, Elvis' gospel and others are coming up. check it out if you havn't done so already.

Angel 27:....you were there for the Rodeo, Remember????We had a great time that week-end....Tim Holt was there and so many others for the promotion.

What year was that?

as far as i know it was from 1939 to the end of the war. many of the prisoners cam back to become US citizens.

That is a interesting piece of OKC history not many know of, including myself.

One of the MOST noticeable prisoner of war camps in this area is located right off I-35 just north of Gainesville. you can see three (3) water towers from the highway on the West side of the road. Then, there is a small German town west on highway 82 by the name of Meunster, Texas.....Good....No GREAT German food in that town...Super nice people....

Ingrid's Kitchen @ NW 36th and Youngs

I posted this in the Moore forum with no results,so I'd like to ask if any of you guy's remember a little mexican restaurant on the E.side of 35 and about a block S. of 12th st. right off the service rd. called Moore's Little Mexico? It was some kinda good.

I've seen a sign about Meunster, maybe a festival or something of the like, but
we've never stopped.

Meunster Texas, has the best Pastry's around, little convenience store on southside of hi-way 82 just as you hit town is a combination service station, convenience store and pastry shop. Fischer's German Super Market has about the best meat you can buy. I once counted 16 people working in the butcher shop and meat counter. Try to get by there about twice a year......Lindsay, Tx just east of Meunster has the good German food....But then again, I don't like German food.

It's is in Moore on South Sooner Road about 134th st. A little pricey but mega good. Old Style German food...If you like German food it's well worth the trip. In OKC there is one on N.W. 23rd/Council on the west side of the road in a strip center that is very good....

Well worth the trip buddy....True Dark German beer...and German food...I think....after the beers it really doesn't matter.....No, it's really good. That is unique part of the country that a lot of people don't go into. Another GREAT place to eat is in a small Texas town (Ponder) just off I35W.....Like you're headed to Ft. Worth......About 6 miles S. of Denton and three miles west...Super great Steakhouse.......

The place on N. Council is called Oma's. They serve sandwiches. I wasn't aware
they served German food. It's more of a European grocery with canned food
and candy.

When did you eat there?

I've been to one German restaurant on S. Sooner road and it's ok. I was stationed in Germany from '73 to '78. Personally I like Old Germany Restaurant out on SE 29th. Alittle pricey but very good food. The most authentic I've seen around here.

The Keller in the Castle, @ NW 8th and MacArthur is very good. I've eaten there
a couple of times. It's not cheap, but good food rarely is.


I like rotkohl, the red cabbage side dish. Mom used to make it and I still do.

Been A While...just thought it was good...Me, I'm a Hot Dog and Chili kinda guy.
Plus Brocolli and Green Beans.....Had to say that the wife might read this post.

Hot dogs & chili! I like them by themselves or together. Either way you get both
food groups i.e. meat and bread.

I find that broccoli, green beans and vegetables get in the way of the food.

I guess we need to try some german food, can`t say as I ever have eaten any before. Might be a good experience, what should we order and what is it?

Wiener Schnitzel! It's like a chicken fried steak only it's pork, sometimes it's veal.
Normally, German meals are served with fried potatoes and sauerkraut. I always
ask for the cooked red cabbage.

Sauerbraten is good, too. It's marinated roast beef.

I lived in Central Texas for 10 years.....Right in the heart of German country. I have tried just about everything they ate....Then the Czech community would show up with something new.....NOTHING beats a Sausage rold dipped in HOT Mustard and then topped off with the nectar of Texas (Lone Star) and an apricot Kolache...Right Red/Gen?....I have always liked the German food
but you can only stand so much Sauerkraut before breaking out the Zantac...Weiner Schneitzel is Great and I do like the Boilde Red Cabbage with Summer Brat cooked in it...The once again the Nectar...you get the message...

Hey Pruner:......Have you every Tried "Boiled" Peanuts????I know this is off the thread but boy that stuff is "NASTY".....I thought they were recalling "Boiled Peanuts" hear last week.....I was told that it tasted like Black-eyed Peas.....Someone had tooooooooo much Lone Star.....Whew........

what was the name of theoptician that used to be under the GRIDERS SIGN -on 29th out in the front parking lot, and where is he now?

reminded me of something else....remember conley drug on 29th west of may avenue....man he had some stuff that would fix you right up! KAODENE...remember what that was for? sure you do!

Hey Pruner... Have you every Tried "Boiled" Peanuts?

Someone had tooooooooo much Lone Star... Whew...

Hey, I make them regularly! Prunette and I like them. It's a southern thing.

what was the name of the optician that used to be under the GRIDERS SIGN -on
29th out in the front parking lot, and where is he now?

I believe you mean optometrist. That would have been John Lawton. He was
one odd duck! I don't know where he is.

Now I'm thinking... Somebody by the name of Christoper? At any rate, there's a
great story from the 60's about that place. They didn't pay their electric bill. It was
in the winter, too. Back in those days opticians still used wooden trays. Well,
two of the guys that worked there made a fire in the back to keep warm.

The name will come to me... but not now.

You guys are weird.....I stopped in Hattiesburg, Mississippi one time and the lady there told me she sold close to 1,000 pounds of those things a day during the season.......Someone must be feeding the hogs......

Hey, if you get a chance take lady77 to eat at the Italian Restaurant just to the north of Capitol Hill Florist...I think it's called Vista Italian....You wouldn't notice it or give it a second chance if you didn't know.....Mega good eats there.....

Boiled peanuts suck!!! Also, there used to be a German restaurant just a little E.of blackwelder and on the N.side of 59th in a little strip shopping center. It was alright.

i think it's called vista italian

just a bit north of 59th & western... it's called bella vista.

You've been there....boy, I think I'll take the wife there tonight....Their Salad Dressing is to die for and the Lasagne reminds me of Nicolosis's.....Are you a Southsider mmmm? Help us out with some of your memories....

HEY! You don't feed hogs a delicacy like bol'd peanuts. Them is good eats.

You call something that looks like body waste a nectar and call bol'd peanuts
hog food... Sumpin' jes' ain't right here...

you've been there....boy, i think i'll take the wife there tonight....their salad dressing is to die for and the lasagne reminds me of nicolosis's.

the place doesn't look like much, but bella vista serves up some pretty good homestyle italian. i usually get their chicken parmesan. i need to try their pizza sometime.


are you a southsider mmmm? help us out with some of your memories....

sure am... but since i was born in '77, most of my fond memories are from the early to mid 80's... but here goes.

of course the tg&y on 74th & penn is up there. before the current days of the big box retailer, that place was huge without comparison. two things stick out the most for me. one, the ramps between the various sections of the store... loved to run up and down those. two, for whatever reason i remember the model car section... seems to me that it was against the back wall somewhere... to a little kid it seemed like it went from floor to ceiling.

in that same strip, there was crystal's. went to & had several birthday parties there... don't seem to remember the infamous moose head everyone is talking about though!

there's a private school over on 64th & shields... used to be a church. was the first place i ever went.

i remember when nino's used to be something special and would actually be packed. that's where we usually ate tex-mex. they had this podium that they used for years that had this carved mexican dude with a sombrero. the coolest thing, though, was that next to the cash register was this mint dispenser that had a 'slot machine' arm.

as good as nino's was, cocina de mino over on 29th & stiles(?) was the place to go... i think that was the first tex-mex restaurant i went to that served queso and flour tortillas... at the time that felt like first class.

another big change is all the neighborhood movie theatres we used to have... southpark on 44th & may. almonte on 59th & may. reding on 36th & western. park twin on 59th and western. the movie theatre in the south shields mall before it turned into a dollar movies... there used to be so many places to go.

speaking of having more choices... how about all the grocery stores we used to have? ted's. rudy's. buchanan's. several iga's. walnut creek shopping center had a grocery. 74th & shields had a grocery. wasn't there a grocery where tg&y was in southern hills? 74th & walker had a grocery... it was a couple things prior, but i remember that one first as mccartney's... instead of lugging your groceries out to your car yourself, you'd take a numbered card, drive up to a special covered lane out front and your groceries would slide out on this conveyer belt where an employee would take your number and put your groceries in the trunk... nothing like that these days...

speaking of service... i remember the gulf station on 74th and western... there's a pawn shop there now... that gas station used to be full service. this old guy would pump the gas for you. he tended this rose bush on the property and would cut off a rose for each of his lady customers, my mom included... again nothing like that these days...

that's probably enough nostalgia out of me! -M
