Two I think:......Been wrestling with dog though...He weighs in at 72 pounds and 12 months old...He was winning when I got back on here. 1/2 Pit Bull and 1/2 American Bull dog....You are about the only one I know that remembered the Trap Door under the stage.....When they were closing the school down I went up there for my wife some things for school and they took me to a Basement right by the stairs closet to the Office.....It was FULL of old trophies ( ya think) that were not on display. I'm really glad I didn't know that it was there I'd been in more trouble.....Probably graduated with you.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They use to hold classes in that "basement" your talking about!! You could duck your head just a little and follow the tunnels underneath a large portion of the school! It's purpose (tunnels) were for housing the utilitie's like water and gas pipes etc. I was a teachers aid in that basement one semester!

I remember "Stock Yards Lumber" when it was on the north side of exchange across the street from the Cattlemens Restaurant, maybe just a little bit east, anyone else? This was in 1962 or 3?

Sutherland's was at the east end of the Exchange Bridge on the north side down under and Stock Yards Lumber was west of Penn on Exchange across from Cattlemen's Drive In, would that be about right?

Man, you two guys should have pegged that one.....Exchange Ave. Lumber....Was father-in-law to Coy Ferguson....Shut down in 1970.........

Al Right Trivia fans (General78):......................

In the early 60's to mid 60's it was Stock Yards Lumber and they went broke around 1965. It had either 2 or 3 owners with Ed Schroeder being the main cog. Mike and I use to go down to his Dad's the whole time I was growing up! Must have been before your time youngster.. LOL

They had one in Shepherd Mall....Name the seven business's you think Conway had?

The only one I know of was Twitty Burger and I used to think Twitty's Marina but, 64 said it wasn't Conway's. O-Yeah I had a Twitty Burger and it "sucked".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was one on N. May also.

Dang, you guys are way over my head.

El Chico was El Charrito. The Sanchez(?) family bought them. El Chico
isn't anywhere near El Charrito.

I'm guessing that there were 4 El Charitto restaurants.

I'm slow but I'm old. I'm very sick, too. Nasal infection and Prunette isn't
much better.

Can anyone remember what business was originally on the N.E corner of 44th and S. Penn?

Hey General78:..........Did you know who "Wild Bill" McAlister was? and where did he live???? and what was his profession....you should know this one if not Lady77's dad will.....

The only thing we could come up with is he was either a bookie for betting or the wdrunk that used to bug him.....am I even close?

Hey 78,
Who was the first Oklahoma Turnpike named after? What did he do?

I'm rolling on the floor laughing as he rips the Internet apart to get the
answer!
:LolLolLol:LolLolLol

Los Tacos used to be on SW 44th between Rancho drive and Blackwelder! What business was in there before it was Los Tacos and before that business was in there what was the property used for!!

Yes, but what was it's name. It was a chain!! And before that what was the property used as, for many years.....

Yes, but what was it's name. It was a chain!! And before that what was the property used as, for many years.....Wild guess simply because the building was built like a small ... Tastee Freez?

Earlier it seems like something was stored under awnings or on large racks. A used car lot? Although I don't know what large racks would have been used for at a car lot.

Ok this one is easy. It is the turner turnpike, named after governor Roy Turner, and a little known fact is when they opened the turnpike it was to collect tolls until the turnpike was paid for.

Did it Happen!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
:ohno:

Ok Mr. Picker......speaking of the turner turnpike what famous news man/storyteller was born at the end of the turner turnpike...

-i CAN SEE THE COGSWELL COGS TURNING NOW!!

When we say the end of the turnpike we mean Tulsa, right? They think it's
the other way around.

I would say Will Rogers but he died 20 years before the turnpike and 30
miles NE of Tulsa.

I GOT IT!

Paul Harvey. But he was born 35 or more years before the turnpike.
I'm going to say Paul Harvey.

Speaking of Paul Harvey he died earlier this evening. I'm crushed. I listened
to him almost everyday.

OH wow your correct and OMG that is weird I brought that up and bad news.

That man ws great I listened to him all the time myself.

He will e sorely missed.

When I was young all the older guys listened to Paul Harvey everyday at lunch so naturally I listened also. Thing about it, he wasn't a shock joc, just plain old reporting. I have good memories about him, sad to hear about his passing.

See unfair I was still in diapers then.

Conway Twitty had four businesses (southside) other than Entertaining:
1. Convenient Store;...Independence and SW 44th
2. Twitty Burger Restaurant:....71st and Western....Monument place now
3. Clothing Store on SW 59th and West of Blackwelder in the Strip Center
4. Twitty Trailer's :....Mobile Home Sales on South Shields.
He (Harold Jenkins) Conway Twitty NEVER had anything to do with the Twitty Boat Storage on SW 89th st. This is a completely different family...Nice People

Ah Ha...Misnomer...The Turner Turnpike was to be paid for and NO tolls collected once the Turnpike SYSTEM was paid for.....That is the law set for ALL the turnpikes in Oklahoma. However, they keep borrowing money against them so they will never be paid for.....

I'd like, more than once every 10 years, to be able to use H.E. Bailey without
having to slow down for construction. Is it made of Play Dough? Good Grief!

Turner is becoming that way. I've never seen construction on the Cherokee,
Will Rogers or the Indian Nations.

The projected payoff time on the Turner was to have been 20 years. Oh my....

Yeah but. The last time I was on the Indian Nation Turnpike (a couple of years ago), it was in need of repairs.

Does anyone remember what the "special item" was on the Twitty Burger?

pineapple slice, but it wasn't that special

pineapple slice, but it wasn't that special

Pineapple on a burger? GROSS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trick to his reasoning:.....if you ever ordered the Twitty Burger they put the Pineapple slice next to the REAL MAYO slathered on...Nothing between the pineapple and the Bun but REAL MAYO...Kinda like Elvis and his Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich.......

The projected payoff time on the Turner was to have been 20 years. Oh my....
================================================== ==========
projected time of 20 years was changed when the toll through to Lawton began and that once again put the turnpike authority in debt.....have to collect tolls to pay off the next project and then maintenance and then so on and so on....I have often wondered why there is a toll in Kansas on I-35... I thought it was a Federal Highway?????

best burger around imho, terriyaki burger with a slice of grilled pineapple, sweet red onion and a leaf of fresh lettuce... not sure what the sauce was and I think it had cheese but I'm not sure. Used to go to Interurban on SW 74 just for their terriaki burgers. Backyard Burgers had one almost as good for a while.

You got it kid....I forgot to mention the Pineapple was grilled and quite tasty. I kinda liked the extra flavor...Huh????

... Kinda like Elvis and his Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich...

I'm big on the grilled peanut butter sandwich.

... I have often wondered why there is a toll in Kansas on I-35... I thought it

It's the same way with Turner and Bailey. Both of them have I-44 posted at
several places. Maybe it's the same way with Will Rogers. How can a
federal interstate be part of a state turnpike? There must be some kind of
legal mumbo jumbo that allows it.

-================================================== ===================
the whole thing is "Goofy"....If they (the state) accept federal funding then they can lay claim to the Turnpikes....However, the Federal highway system was "dreamed Up" and development began Under the Eisenhower adminstration. When Ike was in Germany he was so impressed with the German Autobahn and how there was countrywide distribution at every point and we (the U.S.) have under worked roadways that this became a priority for him.
However, Route 66 was the road that was dedicated for that part of the State of Oklahoma and the efficiency just wasn't that great winding through all of the small towns. the oil Barons etc. from both Tulsa and Oklahoma got the legislation to pass the Turnpike bill going towards and from Tulsa for what is now know as Turner Turnpike.

Los Tacos used to be on SW 44th between Rancho drive and Blackwelder! What business was in there before it was Los Tacos and before that business was in there what was the property used for!!What was the answer?

What was the answer?
Sorry, forgot to answer you. It was built brand new as a "Taste Freeze" and prior to that it was for many years one of the "Southsides" biggest Christmas Tree Lots!!! Not a big deal, just a little trivia..

On the north west corner of s.w. 25th and may what was the business there originally?

Not a big deal, just a little trivia..Okay, that makes sense. I could remember rows of 'something' and metal racks. I guess the racks held the trees and they stacked them on the northwest side of the property during the summer.

On the north west corner of s.w. 25th and may what was the business there originally?
Something like Marks Paint and Body or Paint sells I think!!
