You see Grant was/is full of dips by their own admission!

================================================== ===========
yep:....off topic but, what's the deal with Stoops and Notre Dame???

================================================== ===========
you guys are too young for the Western Dip.....the Western Dip was a hang-out for the kids from Grant....The dip you're talking about is the slide that was on about 65th and Western.....The place where a young kid pulled a Coke Machine over on himself.....didn't do him too good either...

No I am speaking of 39th and Drexel on the vacant lot that is still vacant. It was there for several years then got hit by a tornado - the same one that got the A & W at 23rd and Meridian. It jumped through town in the middle of the night and hit several places.

Stoops is not going to N.D. He's got it made at OU.

If they think he is a god, maybe they should hire Lou Holtz back. After all, the shape they are in now was his doing. Holtz has never played on an even field. University of Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina were all investigated while he was there. After he left each school, they were placed on probation and received sanctions...

I just heard on the news that ND was wanting to talk to him and he said he would listen.....I wish the OU Alumni would be Alumni and not Arm Chair Quarterbacks. that guy (Stoops) has done a Great job. There's always going to be "tough" years and with the injuries OU has this is probably one of those years...O.K. I'm through about Football....Sorry to have gotten off Topic.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All I know hot rod is that the Dip was there (51st) AT THE END OF THE 1966 Class at Grant....took my wife there for a coke before they closed it down....K.E. Smith bought the property and built the building that is there now. There was however a Slide called the Western Dip...

Western Dip closing solved!!! (PaPaOU's favorite site) I got a hold of the secretary to "Doc Smith" who now owns the property where the Dip was. She is my neighbor and has been his secretary for over 50 years. Took me a while to realize that was the same place (5201 S. Western), "The Smith Building." I called my neighbor this morning who still works for Doc Smith and got the whole scoop. The Western Dip was sold late 64 or EARLY 65 by Maureen McGehee to Al Miller. While talking to my neighbor Doc Smith came in and we got the whole poop!! He bought the property from Miller. (The Smith Bldg. was built in 65 and opened 1-1-66) My neighbor called Miller and he CONFIRMED that the Dip was going STRONG in May of 1964! He sold the property to Smith and they moved to about 58th and S. Western and operated it under the name of "The Burger Hut" and not the DIP!! My wife had been trying to tell me that but I was confused. SO, IN CONCLUSION. I humbly apologize to Gen64 for doubting his tale of after graduation story of 64. The reason I doubted it was because of his bogus Quote shown above. With all that said Gen64, I will be buying the steaks at Cattlemen's!! You should pay the tip for misleading us with the story shown above. Your RIGHT, I'm WRONG> THE END>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

O.K.....whatever....My wife told me that yes I did take her to the Western dip but, it was just before Christmas of 1964 and she was afraid of that part of town....Yeah, I don't think she's afraid of anything......French Fries and Mustard....(don't think my stomach can handle it now.....so, we were both wrong and I was right....I do though really believe you were there when we had that shin ding in the spring of '64...All your buddies were so I'm sure you were....Thanks for the effort....

Why don't you boys just meet in the field after school and have
it out?

Hey! Where did the fights take place at Grant, Capitol Hill and
Southeast? I honestly don't know. Jefferson had a field just
south and west of the school where S. Blackwelder ended.

He sold the property to Smith and they moved to about 58th and
S. Western and operated it under the name of "The Burger Hut"
and not the DIP!
Just a minute! Are you telling me that the sign at the "Dip" on
S.W. 58th that said "Western Dip" didn't say "Western Dip"?
Maybe the title on the deed said "Burger Hut" but the sign on
S. Western definitely said, "Western Dip".

Do you sell what you're drinking by the quart or gallon?

At Capitol Hill, it was pretty much a here and now type thing. I do know there were many in the restrooms of the football stadium.
Never understood the concept of "meet me at..." or "Let's go outside!"
Okay chump. You want to go outside? Lead the way!!!!!!
A fair fight? You are going to attempt to hurt me!
No rules and no holds barred.

It was pretty dumb to say the least.

It was pretty dumb to say the least.

Only fight I remember "meeting" for was 8th grade at CHJH. Over a baseball score and we met in the 2nd floor restroom. Supposed to be between classes and when it ran into class time and many of the males were absent that got the teachers and other faculty searching. Not too hard to locate, noise and a crowd. Before they could make it far enough into the restroom, we just quit and filed out with the rest. Don't think they ever found out the culprits. Of course by me being there I was under suspicion. I was always singled out or tabbed the ringleader.


Can I sue the OKC Public School System for abuse?

I'm saying the Owners said it read "The Burger Hut" and that I'm saying it read "The Burger Hut" and my wife living at 50th and South Western (most of her life) said it read "The Burger Hut." Prove me wrong, before you dispute this. I went to a lot of work to PROVE myself WRONG to Gen64!!! Thanks..... The previous owner Maureen McGeehee sold the 5201 property to this Miller fellow who sold it to Dr. Smith. I talked to Maureen's use to be next door neighbor to confirm this. Neighbor said that after selling the property she opened up the "Burger Hut" at about 58th and S. Western! I ask if she opened it up as "The Western Dip" and she said if she did it was for for a very very short time because it WAS "THE BURGER HUT" until the day it closed.

Hard to believe a little burger joint gets so much discussion. I never knew about the "Western Dip" at the 5201 S.Western location. And I'am not saying it wasn't the "Burger Hut" at about 58th and Western but, I lived in that neighborhood (61st and Kentucky) and we called it the "Western Dip". I quess the confusion comes from the relocation.

Your 100% right Mr. Gen70 and I'm done (stick a fork in me) and I'm through with "Western Dip's or 'Burger Huts." No more response from me on either one!! How is Carolina and when are you moving back to "God's Country?" You must really miss Oklahoma????

N. Carolina is good, the weather temp. here in the mountains is alot cooler than Oklahoma and I do hope to move back to OKC in the next couple of years. I do miss "God's Country" and hope to live in downtown OKC when I get back.

O.K.:.....Western Dip...Carltonskeeper has Never given up on anything. I remember my older sister working there for 13 cents and tips. She didn't wear roller skates but even at age 12- 14...that's right there wasn't a true child labor law in the food industry then. The law was if you wanted to work and you would then you had a job. The thing that always worried me (being a little brother) was all the "Grease Balls" back then. You know, in the late to middle fifties if you could find your parents car keys it too was fair game.....Hmmm remember the "Good old days"?????

The former Del Rancho on S. Western is now Tony's Tacos #2

thought I'd just throw this thread in...It's been about a week since anything about the dip came up.....Speaking of dips do you remember the "Dip" cone from Dairy Queen?????....that was nice..Huh????

Rumor is out that Western Dip is launching a nation wide chain of new drive-ins restaurants modeled after the orginal southside location.

Don't say that too loud, Prunepicker will start trying to buy all of the franchises....I can see it now, Prunepicker and Carltonskeeper Drive -Ins....both of them on Roller skates...Just like Al 'n Dub did with Potter's....

I'm working on the name. How does CP sound? Instead
of roller skates I think we should use walkers.

You could sell Pickles in a baby food jar....lot cheaper that Mason jars....(got you some of those)....with a little "Hustle" you could take trade-ins on false teeth and make some money there......used only once.....YUK..

Couldn't help myself. Ha.. Tell CK I was only kidding.

The Mountain air has done went and "gotcha" boy!! Only kidding Mr. 70 - Sounds like a great idea to me!! I haven't discussed the details with Prunepicker, but I"m thinking a 51/49% partnership!! With my extra voting power we will both use roller skates - But I will not be required to wear the mini skirt!! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a few guest appearances from Gen/64 displaying his ability to eat "Mustard Frys" at the Grand opening....

I don't know. The guys at the places I go to tip really good if
you're wearing a mini skirt.

Gen64 will have to pay for his fries. No freebies. Goes for
you to!

I can see the "Grand Opening" in my mind. It will be "spectaculair".

As long as the profits stay at a certain level Mr. Prunepicker and myself (being franchise owners) should be able to gorge ourselves at no cost!! Mr. 64, now thats a different story, he could change those profits in a hurry!!!!

wonder if an old Fashioned Drive-in like that would work here in OKC again????would you have to know different languages? would we have discrimination against aothers if there were only 12-13 items total on the menu? How about oh never mind....I could start a verbal riot right now.....Put me down as a franchisee... I figure I can used Pennyquilts, Tallgirl and Soonergirl26 as the car hops.....No Roller Skates...Short skirts??????hmmm....maybe in Cheerleader outfits....think about this one. Have to have a place for Penny to tie her horse up though....City ordinances????

A new twist on a proven idea. Dress the girls in uniforms and have them ride little trains to the customers car. Take an order and ride train back inside to turn in order, gather drinks and such, return to car. Get the picture????

something to eat.

78 has big arms.

All I want to do is be a silent partner and make incredibly
huge amounts of money while not doing anything. Other
than that, I'm ready to go to work!

I think it closed in '68 but I'm not real sure...probably in '66....Some lady was K.E. Smith's Secretary and that's what she said to the people that lived across the street from her at the Lake...I think...But, Prunepicker can verify it for us....

It was still open around 71 or 72. I had a friend that, well he
was a friend until, we won't discuss it, worked there. I still
say it was called the Western Dip.

On Sunday I'll try to remember to ask K.E. who the secretary was.

And Elvis was the first customer! Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplan, and Jim Morrison were also there.

The Western Dip at 51st and South Western closed sometime in 1964. K.E. Smith moved into HIS new building January 1st, 1966. The building was being built during the year of 1965. The secretary in mention is STILL his secretary, Bonnie Merrick! She was with him when he started in the Capitol Hill area. I think your referring to the Dip after it moved on South on Western. It was owned by the McGehee Lady that owned the original Dip and when it closed was called the "Burger Hut." I don't know for sure if she ever called it the Western Dip or not, I thought it was, but have been told otherwise...

Yes, the one farther south on S. Western. I don't remember
ever going to the the original. At any rate, we called it the
Western Dip and the Grease Pit. It may have been called the
Burger Hut but we never called it that. It was open until '71
or '72.

I think your right on the money on the time frame. I know it was a grase pit but I really did like to eat there!!

I probably owe the beginning of my physique to the Western Dip.....You two Carltonskeeper....

I was thinking! When the Smith building sells and we open it back as a "Western Dip" Gen/64 wants Doug to be the Manager in charge and PenneyQuilts to be either a cook or a car hop! Does that sound just a little bit sexist? I just think '64' is trying to cause trouble, shame on you!!

Oh my gosh:...busted with two Lawyers....Prunepicker has to cook though....Pennyquilts....can you roller skate well????If not we could be the first drive-In with the carhops on stilts.....definitely need a lawyer for workman's compensation Now.....

Stilts? Are you making short jokes?
We changed the oil in the 'burb so we've got a months worth
for french fries and onion rings.

Haven't heard much about the Grand Opening of the "Western Dip." Although, rumor has it that Gen/64 and Mr. Prunepicker are in deep negotiatons concerning "64" buying out Mr. Pickers remaining stock! I've been approached for my 51% by PaPaOU and Gen/70 but we can't seem to get together on a price!!

Man, I had completely forgotten about the "buy out" negotiations.....I went over to the site the other day and noticed a "greasy" spot and asked a guy walking wonder what that was and he began to tell me his side or version of the Western Dip episode.......He put Grape Jelly on his fries....that did sound too good though...
