I'm in search of a photo of Stewart-Wood Pharmacy that was located at 44th
& Shields.

Is the building gone?

Is the building gone?

Building is there but they stripped the signs and such off the front. I'll by and see if there is anything left to show it was Stewart- Wood. If so I'll get a pic and post it.

I grew up at 32nd and S Western...Memories

White Water- I had a season pass the first 4 years it was open

Redding Square- GodFathers Pizza, Mazzio's Pizza, Dotson's or some cafeteria, The movie theatre, The really long sidewalk in front of TG&Y and Otasco the we always rode our bikes on until the store owners yelled at us, there used to be tiny little Kodak buildings where you could drop off film,Wendy's when they first opened and had that blacktop that when wet was like ice....I fell many times there on my bike, Sears and the gas station at sears...neither of which ever had customers. Sears did have an Atari display so we used to live there and play the games until the manager unplugged the games, there used to be a game room in reding square that served ice creame and frito chili pies.

Jamaica Joes- Everyone hung out there in the 80's and do burn outs in the parking lot before cruising to 12th street in Moore or Air Depot in Midwest City...everyone bragged about their car until "The NightStalker" (Camaro) showed up...he was supposed to be the fastest around

There was a Burrito stand about the size of a small RV on 51st and Western that sold the biggest and best burrito's around.

Suicide Park- Some creek bed area near 59th and Walker that we used to ride our bikes in and had some great hills

I used to go to the hobby shops at 59th & Penn. & 44th & Western but, I always get the names mixed up can any body straighten me out on the names per location? Used to race slot cars there back in the 60's.

What's being built at the N.W. corner of S.W. 59th & Western?

I thought it was a used car lot ?

What's being built at the N.W. corner of S.W. 59th & Western?

You mean they are tearing down the pawn shop which used to be a grocery store? They built a car lot on the n.w. corner where the church was. Have to check it out............

It seems like not long ago it was almost impossible to find a parking place at Sears.

Bring memories, memorabilia,

I'm in search of a photo of Stewart-Wood Pharmacy that was located at 44th & Shields. My folks met there in 1953 and married later that year. They remained married until last summer (2008) when we lost my father to cancer. I would so much like to include a photo of the store in his memoirs.

I went to high school with Vickie Parker Stewart.....I'll contact her and see if they might have a picture of the store. I'll also look in my old yearbooks... might be one in there with the advertising in the back. I'll let you know.

~~~

I will be at Coit's tomorrow, but only for a little while....I'll have to leave around 2:30. I'm bringing a few old copies of the Oklahoma Journal from 1968. See all you guys there!!

~~~

I'll be there tomorrow, I think. Have to work till about 12:30, go home and change, but I should be able to make it. I hope there will be more Redskins there. I need some backup.

Hey papa, can you post a link to that alumni web site where you got those shirts? I can't seem to find it. Must be these cadillacs in my eyes.

dangit I missed another one...had to work today.

Hey papa, can you post a link to that alumni web site where you got those shirts? I can't seem to find it. Must be these cadillacs in my eyes.

Visit capitolhill.alumniclass.com

This should get you there. Or just enter capitol hill alumni. They have info about members, reunions, products....................

SouthSide Girl knows a place here in the city. Could save you shipping cost. Or, if two, three or more want to buy shipping stays the same and you could split it.
I was worried about the color (maroon) but was impressed when the shirts came. great color. I am usually buying "crimson and creme!" Know how many versions of crimson there are? If you want to check with SouthSide Girl send her a private email through this site. Her home computer is down so she won't get it until Monday at work.
I talked with CHHS before I ordered these about what the school may have available. Because it was near end of school year they had nothing but would let me know when the 2009-2010 school year begins. But I doubt if you could get an alumni t shirt through them.

If you have problems let me know.

Going to order? Let me know first because there is one other person wanting to order and maybe a 3rd. Might as well split the shipping.

Hey kid, I knew Paul and he was a very dedicated person to his profession and to the Outdoor Sports world....Our prayers will be with his family. Keep us informed please....Where have you been girl?????

I check this so seldom that I'd even forgotten that I wrote...haha. Yep, just been Jellen. I need a different screen name but guess it doesn't matter since I forget to get on here...haha. Heard you had a nice get together.

I'm sorry for being so late to the get together at Coit's.

I know Frisky, Soonergirl26 and PapaOU were there. Who else showed up?

Saw Gen64 today. Had to bail him out... again. :LolLolLol
Bring your unused bail bond coupons to the next get together.

Hey guys, Sorry I wasn't at the meeting....that's my first to miss...I have had surgery for Kidney Stones and other complications. I'm old and still don't like for the nurses to give me a shot...I don't care how cute they are...(Nurses not the shots).....don't recommend Kidney stones to anyone so be careful with this hot weather....Many other complications happened but that's not real nice to talk about.....I'll bounce back.......

Tried to cover the best I could with a believable story. You might bring the
bail bond coupons to the next meeting just in case.

A friend told me that the illusion of beautiful nurse was proportionate to
how sick you are. If the nurses are cute, you're very sick because the
mind plays games. If they're gorgeous, you're near death or worse.

In reality they all are ugly and built like Russian KGB agents.

From what you told me today, they were more like kidney bowling balls.

Good to have you back. See you next time.

Hey guys, Sorry I wasn't at the meeting....Hope you get to feeling better soon.

You should have said something.

I'm sure I have something to relieve the pain.

If not! Something to take your mind off of the hurt.

We did miss you Gens64....sorry to hear about your health issues. Hopefully you'll bounce right back and we'll see you in August.....Aug. 15th I believe since that is the 3rd Saturday. I was feeling bad because prunepicker gave me the homemade jelly he brought for you Saturday....then I heard that he gave you some today. Good stuff!

Good to see you back, Mom! Prunette already likes you and has no clue
who you are. I have no idea why. Frisky, Papa and Rickster, ferget it.

Prunette and I have gone beserk in the kitchen. We're lookin' for recipes
that don't cause kidney stones. '64 has had about a million of them.

Hey 64, have you called Guiness World Records?

Hey Mom, is it possible to make kidney stone jelly?

Yo' 64, Prunette said if you want a refill you need to return the jar. She
doesn't give a Flying Frattalli Brother about the leather, she just wants her
jelly jars back. Did you know she was a sniper in the special forces? She
can cure your kidney from 1,000 yards, i.e. there'd be a hole big enough
for anything to pass.

Gen64, return the jars, and bring the bail bond coupons at the next get
together.

Mom, make sure Gen64 pays attention.

64, don't make Mom mad.

Mom, make sure Gen64 pays attention.

Gosh, I love being "Mom" to someone older than me. :-)

Where was Jack's Steakhouse? Gen64 has his salad dressing recipe.

I THINK that it was a block or two north of 59th on Penn, but part of me is saying it's just been TOO long to remember for sure. It was razed a long time ago. Jack's daughter Deanna graduated from Grant in '62.

Jack's was about a block north of 59th and Penn on the West side of the Street.....

Hey Guys and Gals:.....if you remember, some time back we were holding up a young man with Cancer in our prayers. His name was Caleb and he was from Hinton. ECO is a good friend of the family. He just passed away so if you don't mind, let's try and remember the family and also our commrade ECo in our prayers for the next few days.....Thanks.....

Jack's was about a block north of 59th and Penn on the West side of the Street.....Before both the hospital, and the muffler shop, on the N.W. corner of S.W. 59th and Penn. there was a building on the West side of Penn. that faced the East. Geralds donuts occupied the South end, and a resturant occupied the North end. Was that Jacks?

Always go to Sonic for happy hour. Usually the one on 29Th and Shields. There was a school group there washing cars for donations to raise money for it's football team Saturday. Which school?

Carl Albert!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes that was the place.I thought so but couldn't remember. In the early sixties my parents ran a small dry cleaning business with two locations. One shop was in the Reding shopping center and the other in that building on 59th and Penn. Over the years many different businesses came and went. Do you remember any others? I seem to recall a beer joint there as well, do you?

The business I remember best was Jeans West. Bellbottoms, tie-dyed shirts, good leather belts......

The only beer joint I knew of is still there on 58th west of penn. The Twilight Club. Rough place then and still is............

The Devil's den was a beer joint in that location.Thanks, I couldn't remember the name. That was way to many years ago, but I bet it was a fun place.

Thanks, I couldn't remember the name. That was way to many years ago, but I bet it was a fun place.

Actually I went in there one time and it was a dive.

I remember my mother drying clothes on a wooden rack over the floor furnace and a kind of strecher she put inside of our jeans. the jeans came out with a perfect seam.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have looked everywhere for a pair of Pants Stretchers.....My mom would make Starch and then put my jeans (blue and Wheat) on them and when they dried she would Iron them and the seam would stay forever.....Would like to find a pair of Jeans Stretchers......She would also starch my shirts ....they would be so stiff you could stand them up in a corner....

But if you ever run across anyone that has some they want to get rid of please let me know. If they have any left over after you get what you need, I could sure use a pair or two myself. I've got a whole bunch of 34s that need to be stretched to 38s.

Too old? You're kidding. Right?

Mind thirties? Since when do people in their thirties have a mind?

I'm a professional body builder. I believe that building means to make
bigger.

Eating a lot of fish is a good thing, especially if it's fried and served with
french fries and/or onion rings. A lot of french fries and/or onion rings!

Don't forget the slaw. Tubs of slaw!

Should have read "mid-thirties"

Was not refering to fish!

Well. Maybe in one manner you could say fish.

Had fish tacos for lunch, dinner or supper, which ever it is if you eat around 5 in the afternoon.

Or would that be called early evening?

Late afternoon?

I'm clueless. But if you weren't referring to fish, then what were you
referring too? Cats? Cars? Enzymes?

I believe that when you eat around 5pm it's called Dupper or Sinner. It
depends on which side of I-35 you're on. Or is it I-40? I-85? I-610?

fix poke salad and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Collards and turnips prevent kindey stones.
