Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[grantgeneral78]

Where was Hoaglin's? I remember the name but can't remember where it was.

It was on 29th street next door to the tire shop by loveless shoes on the same side of the street and across from the old hudson station on the noth side of the street.

Who used to own GODFATHERS pizza on the south side? got into a few (fights) scuffles in the parking lot on 59th in front of godfathers. there used to be hundreds of kids hang out up and down 59th....that was our drag back in the day!

Does anyone remember the name of the movie theater on S. Agnew? I think it's now a Harley-Davidson dealer.

The Checkmate. It might have been something else at an earlier time.

It was a hard one ....it was called the Agnew Theater....You are getting old....Maybe a haircut would work?....Naw, I'll see you Saturday??. Also, I bid on a 1960 Grant Yearbook....if I get it it's yours if you need it...

The Checkmate was the name given when it was a teen club.....din't last very long thanks to Vandalism.

long thanks to Vandalism.

It was a paper drop in the late 60's. That's when I remember it as the
Checkmate. Did Ronny Kaye have something to do with it?

I never patronized it when it was a theater, then again there are a lot of places I
never went to.

I think I remember going there to dance on "The Scene" with Ronnie Kaye in 1967. We sometimes went to the WKY studio for the taping....but I think I remember going upstairs from that former Harley Davidson store on Agnew a time or two for tapings. Am I dreaming????

[SoonerGirl26]

I just put a posting on the SE High School page of "classmates.com" asking people to check out this site. Maybe we'll get a few more people to come on here and share their memories....maybe even some new ones....surely we haven't come up with all the memories yet!!!

Also, don't forget.....

I'm hoping to be over this pneumonia by then. I really want to be there.

The Checkmate was a club (to the best of my recollection). It was there before the Scene. We use to go to the Scene during battle of the bands.

Got a new OLD MEMORY:.....on the NorthWest corner of 44th and Agnew....there was a filling station there and, you could dial whatever grade fuel (up to Jet fuel) that you might want. John Tullis worked there forever....I think the name of the station was Cosner???? Someone help me out here. The building is still there but the language has changed...

Wasn't that the Apco station across the street from Kearn's Dairy where John Tullis and his Dad worked on their go-fast factory hot rod Fords? Ricky Mintgomery (now paralyzed) had the Fords and switched to Chevrolet worked on his there also. Tullis and Montgomery both lived on S.W. 48th.......

Can't make it this time, (cast). Ricky was working at Tinker AFB and had a very lucrative salvage yard started somewhere down south of OKC at the time. He loved to play pool and hanging out in beer joints I guess is the only way you can do that. Anyway, you knew him, he was a quiet reserved type fellow, hard to get to know but an alright guy I thought. He left a beer joint one night about 20 years ago after playing pool and was beat unconcious and kicked half to death, assumed to be over a crummy pool game. He said he never saw who hit him or anything. Just woke up in the hospital, paralyzied for the rest of his life. Last I heard he was living with his mother back on 48th, and I also heard later she died!! I'm assuming he's still living. Bad deal, kind of liked ol Rick, the ONLY Ricky Montgomery I like for sure!!!!!!

Now, there was a guy.....I talked with his Sister (T) not too long ago and my statement to her was "How's Ricky"? Her answer was he's doing all right. I didn't know until right now....But, He was a little "Cocky" and probably helped start the fight don't you know?...Hey, still got your Camaro????
