    I have lots of good memories of Elmwood swimming pool. It was a fun place to swim & meet with friends. I have one of the last pictures of it when the the bull dozier were plowing it up.

    I only knew him through his posts, but rest assured this Cowoys fan is saddened by his passing. Grant to him eternal rest, O Lord; and may your perpetual light shine upon him. May his and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace.

    Sorry to hear about PapaOU. He shared a lot of his southside memories with many of us at the Coit's meetings. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his CHHS alumni friends. RIP John.

Akin (former player in NFL with San Diego Chargers) is the President of Carpet World, Inc. His sons Zac and Scott now run the business. They have 4 stores.... the one on Reno, and 3 "Floor World" stores in Edmond, MWC and Moore.

    It seems to veer to melancholy, to respond to this but that is the nature of this thread. The Sussy places you keep mentioning are, fascinating, because they were places, living in Moore, that you would be spending a ton of money just to go there. I worked at the T.G. &Y. In Moore. That job financed my way to an incredible period, while in high school, between 1976-78. We always wanted to go to Molly Murphy's for big dates or during big h. s. events. What a great time to be alive and in the world.

    For the record, here is a 1975 Aerial showing the exact location of Sirloin Stockade in the parking lot.

    Monkey Biz,

    Yes, it lines up between Starbucks and the old Joes Crab Shack. . Notice the old Sirloin Stockade location lines up due north of the last house on 77th circle, north side that has a East west orientation.

    Begging pardon, I posted the original photo reversed and upside down, This puts it into better perspective.

    Well I noticed the Tener's at Shields and I-240 disappeared recently without a whimper... Never even noticed any banners up about a sale or anything.

    Looked like the new banner on the east wall said Uncle Joseph's Clearance Warehouse or something like that.
