I occasionally visit with Kennard's daughter. I've know her for a long time.

G - Granada Florists. Yes, it's still open, but my cousin has worked there almost 40 years and owned it the last 30. That qualifies as history.

Rick I was there many times.

Well I am going to make a clarification here:

International House of Pancakes. Next to St. Anthony, and the one on N. May across the street from NW Classen. Those two places were great and the new ones around town, or out of town for that matter really suck and too high priced.
