O.K., you've got me wondering now....Fox Lumber is on the East side....there was a filling station on the east corner and then some type of Drive-in (Now Mexican Food place) and the Further south on the east side The Pepsi plant was there for a long time and then Bob's Candy company was there for years.....Now, on the West side some large older homes and then further north where you are talking about....ooops, forgot....old age you know...Isn't there a Battery company there now????? slipping bad....I forgot to get away from the Analog converter box......DON'T KNOW>>>>

The Holister Company?

Never mind. That was on 15th.

What gas Station was on the NW corner of SW 15th and May?

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

I haven't been there in years. I get 15th mixed up with 25th.

I'm guessing Square Deal Auto Salvage. But it might have been closer to
the railroad overpass.

I'm going to go looking this week.

Never mind. That was on 15th.

================================================== ========
Originally Deep Rock.....

Remember Melrose Court on the S.E. corner of 44th and Robinson, Alamo Plaza courts on the N.W. Corner and just to the North on east side of 44th the Old Alamo Plaza Restaurant known for its fried Chicken!! Makes ya' kind of hungry, huh!

correction: west side of 44th on the Chicken house

Someone is sorely missed on this thread. Just can't put my finger on who it is. :fighting2

I Agree:.....my same sentiments.......even though that person went to S.E....

start and what was it?

Yukon? I thought he was in Moore. Home of smile America!

At any rate, when his commercials came on my Dad would always say,
"Can't that man afford a suit that fits?" His sleeves were very long and it
drove Dad crazy.

YEAH, Jim Ed was in Moore. Wanna fight?

Back to the question... I'm guessing Peter Piper Pizza.

NO! He was Linda Soundtrack!

NO! Jeno's Pizza Rolls!

NO! Deep Rock gas commercials!

NO...

I just received a message, at 1:50 am in the morning.

uhoh picker someone is stalking you!:LolLolLol

Who had the dealership in Moore? He always ended his ads with, "In Moore,
home of smile America".

I thought it was Jim Ed Grant.

Gene Williams Chevrolet?

Gene Williams Chevrolet?
How about Allan Merril Chevrolet, The Mexican Market is Hot right now!!

Allan Merril was Yukon I think, Wasn't the Moore dealership Williams Kilpatrick, then Gene Williams and then David Stanley???

Allan Merril was Yukon I think, Wasn't the Moore dealership Williams Kilpatrick, then Gene Williams and then David Stanley???That is correct.

That is correct.
Jim Ed Grant's sons used to own some pawn shops and Eddie still owns some daycare units on the Southside of OKC....What was his previous Job Description???

Gene Williams Chevrolet?

You may be right. I don't know.

Allan Merril was Yukon I think, Wasn't the Moore dealership Williams Kilpatrick,
then Gene Williams and then David Stanley?

That may be the case, but they aren't the companies I remember who ended
their ads with "Moore, home of smile America". Gene Williams may very well
be the company, the more I think about it.

Yes, Alan Merrill was in Yukon. The lot he owned/leased is still there. I don't
know if there's a business there or not. Last I looked, it was not being used.

Gene Williams always started by talking about shopping out on the old Prairie Field. He was the one that got the city to paint the "Smiley Face" on the Water Tower in Moore America.....

Jolly Roger truck driver! Maybe not...

How about fork lift operator for TG&Y?

Yeah jim ed owned a pawn shop and had a small car lot on s.w. 29th, I dont remember eddies brothers name but they were handed everyting on a silver platter. Last I seen jim ed he had a pawn shop in midwest city. Quite a drop from major dealership owner to pawn shop.

================================================== ===========
there were a few things that happened to Jim we'll talk about out of the forum. However, he made a lot of $$$$$ in the pawn shop business. He didn't own just one.....

yeah very controvesial. to say the least.

================================================== ========
It seems like the Pawn Shop business is what to be in. There is now one at every corner.....especially on the Southside...

Speaking of car dealerships, how about Scott Chevrolet, Bus Horton Ford etc. etc. and the Gandara Buick Store on N.W. 10th. I believe R.T. Ayers (High Performance) Chevrolet was where Allan Merrill used to be in Yukon. And his brother Woody Ayers had a store in Edmond. Speaking of Gandara Buick, Wasn't "Wava" who advertises for Nu-Sound Hearing Aids the Spokes Lady for Gandara Buick back many many years ago!! Does anyone know? Can anyone remember who the sponsor (a product) for the "Ida B" show was, or do any of you remember Ida B??????

I remember all of those dealerships and that was where R.T. Ayers Chevrolet was. Bought my first new car there 1966 Chevelle SS 396/375 H.P. They had some real hot dog cars. His brother or cousin was Woody Ayers in Edmond and yes Wava was a spokesperon for Gandara Buick. The Ida B show came on daily kind of like Danny's Day. Her sponsor was Country Club Crackers which came in the green box, don't know if they still make them or not! Could have been called Lunch with Ida B?

I remember Ida B, I went to college with her son. Also, I bought my first new car at Scott Chevrolet, a 72 Monte Carlo.

Stockyards lumber, do you remember who the owner was and the son's name!

Ida B:.....Ida Blackburn...Koco-TV....Was the person who help initiate the first color picture (American Flag) in 1964:......TG&Y Sponsored her show (10:30a.m.) on Thursdays for years....Embarassing but, I was on there for quite a few episodes as the TG&Y person. She wanted to film my wedding live and My wife said NO!!!! oh well, she was worth it (my wife)

Can anyone remember what business was originally on the N.E corner of 44th and S. Penn?
================================================== ========
Wasn't it a tire shop/Muffler shop????

It seems like the Pawn Shop business is what to be in. There is now one at

yep, you're 100% right on that one....Since YOU are NEW to the thread did you ever eat or go to Ellen's Grille?...It's been talked about before but, it seems everyone has a memory of it. Did you go to Grant ? If so when did you graduate???(if you did)

I JUST VIEWED THE OLD sOUTHSIDE THREAD.....NOW OFFICIALLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SECOND PAGE...2010 REPLIES AND 36,000 VIEWS...LOCKED AND CLOSED:..........."GOOD BYE" OLD FRIEND.....AS YOU GET KARRIED AWAY.

Where was the Mint Club?

The Mint Club was on the N.E. corner of 44th & Penn.. There might have been a gas station at one time but, I had been in the Mint before.

But, I think the Mint was put in the building of the Apco Station...Almost positive.....

I spent many an hour in the mint club, I lived right behind it. I bought my first pack of cigarettes in about 1957 at the Apco service station there out of a machine for .25cents! Amazing what things you remember from your childhood. It only took me about 25 years to get over the smoking habit. I even remember them being Lucky STrikes, my favorites!! Hope my lungs have recovered.

Funny how when we were kids, they would tell you they weren't supposed to sellyou cigarettes and the normal response was I'm getting them for my mom/dad.....O.K. but don't you smoke any of them...Yeah, go and smoke Grapevine.../Sheeeesh, I wanted to die since I knew that the FIRE that went down my throat burned up my lungs and everything else.....and then I remembered that it would stop my growth....Man, I should be about 7' 4" tall by now then...Oh well sa as it was on the Southside of OKC....

Apco was on the South East corner wasn't it
It was a Texaco on the S.E. corner!!

Definitely a Texaco...It was there for years...That was the station that the kids from Capitol Hill shot the hands off the outside clock...Right, SHOT the hands off...and they were so proud they told the first police officer they saw that they should become cops they were so good with a gun...True Story....

Ok what was the gas station that was located across from the delrancho on 29th street. delrancho sat on the north side of the street and the station was caddy corner from it on the south side of the street....BETCHA DONT KNOW!

What station was on the S.W. corner of 25th and South Western. Had the biggest line of cars in town when a gas war hit about 59 or 60 !! Gas was .15 per gallon and they were lined up south down Western for about 3 blocks! It normally was only about .21 to .25 cents anyway..

I spent a good portion of my life in Ellen's Grille, even got free Cheeseburgers, guess they felt sorry for a kid who had to eat out all the time. And I graduated from U.S. Grant in 1965....Maybe even helped buy the Cannon.

You must have known Danny Parker and Max Weldon... you know, it's been almost 40 years since Danny was killed in Viet Nam.....Sure miss his quirky ways.
June 9th, 1969 .... He left for over there on April of '69 ...landed on May 9th of '69 and killed a month later.....Good guy. If you helped buy the Cannon then your purchase has been talked about numerous times on this thread...I probably know who you are.....
