View Full Version : Where did you live?
bchris02 04-02-2013, 05:12 PM SE 89th and Sooner back in the late '90s. I left OKC in 2002 and returned last summer.
That side of town has grown quite a bit, but still no grocery store. You have to go all the way to Moore or Midwest City for basic staples.
AlanW 04-02-2013, 05:33 PM Good question C.T. I have no idea. :D
Prunepicker 04-03-2013, 12:30 PM So, the mystery is: Why is it Heronville with one "r" when it was named after a
man named Herron? Just curious. My sister went there, then she was
transferred to Rancho Village when it was completed. She went there in 1949
after K through 3rd grade at McKinley.

Maybe it was shortened so the name would fit over the entrance? Good
Question.
SOUTHSIDE GIRL 04-03-2013, 01:54 PM I went to Heronville from 1st( 1961?) thru 6th grade. My mother also worked in the cafeteria until 1974. lived on SW 26th and Blackwelder between Blackwelder and Indiana When I was in 4th or 5th grade we lived on 26th between Mckinley and Blackwelder.
Yes it is sad to drive through the area now.
rezgirl 04-04-2013, 05:34 PM Lived in El Reno most of my young life. Moved to OKC after I got remarried to my husband now of almost 15 years. Then we moved out by Edmond area about 9 years ago. Most of my family still live in El Reno...
Willb 09-30-2013, 09:43 AM Moved from Tennessee to S.Williams st in El Reno in '68. Then from there to 12th & Western in OKC in '69, attended Kindergarten and first grade at Eugene Fields (When the building was still above ground). Moved to Edmond in '71, first to University and Washington streets, then the old Bronco apartments (now a parking lot), attended 2nd grade (twice) at Northern Hills, then we moved across town to Broadway and Colcord, and I attended 3rd and 4th grades at Russell Dougherty. In 1975 we moved from Edmond to NW 22nd and Santa Fe, and attended 5th and 6th grade at Kelley Elem, then Middle school at Highland West, Mid-high at Moore West, and graduated from Moore HS in 1984.
Moved out of the metro area in 2000 to NE OK/SW MO
Willb 09-30-2013, 02:27 PM In 1975 we moved from Edmond to NW 22nd and Santa Fe,

Jim Kyle 09-30-2013, 04:47 PM I couldn't edit my post for some reasonIt takes a while after joining before the "edit" capability is added; I don't remember the details but if you continue to post, it won't take very long before you have it.

Cool. Thank you, sir
bchris02 10-02-2013, 07:38 PM I'm not sure if I have posted here yet, but I lived at I-240 and Sooner back in the '90s before moving away from OKC. Back then it seemed like that part of town was getting ready to take off. Today, it really hasn't changed all that much.
soonergeezer 08-14-2014, 02:01 PM I've lived in a number of places, so to make a long story short I'll list the cities and schools with no time frame. Born Wynnewood, Pauls Valley, Sands Springs, Sperry, Skiatook, Tulsa, The Village, OKC, Warr Acres. Herbert Hoover jr high, John Marshall high school, and Pauls Valley high school.

whorton 08-07-2024, 04:58 AM From early 1963 to Aug of 1974... 2331 SW 21. Just off of Agnew. My grandfather had owned Inland machine at 21st and Agnew and owned the house. We lived there for free as the machine shop needed someone available 24 hours. Be sold out in 1969. We stayed until my mother graduated an got a job teaching in Del city. I never complained that we moved out the year BEFORE desegretion started.
