Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[gen70]

Thanks Prunepicker and Generals64. I used to eat there, but could'nt place where it was.

[grantgeneral78]

Growing up I lived on S.W. 50th st. I could see Grant from my house. also lived on S. Klein, S.W. 61st & McKinley and S. Country Club Dr..

I am assuming you graduated from grant in 70 right?

Did you know any guys with the last name childers?

[grantgeneral78]

Anyone remember the S&H GREEN STAMP store over on I-35 AND 44TH STREET. It was pretty neat except all the good stuff cost 150,000,000 books.

[gen70]

grantgeneral78! Yes I did graduate in 70. The name Childers doesn't ring a bell but, it's been 39 years and my memory ain't what it once was.

[grantgeneral78]

Oh ok, how was the football team in the late 60`s early 70`s?...when i was there they werent horrible like they are these days.

I remember when it was in the very back of the Penney's store in Capitol Hill. That was also back by the section where we bought all the stuff for our Brownie/Girl Scout uniforms in grade school.

I also remember when my mom used to get kitchen towels and drinking glasses in our laundry detergent boxes.

[SoonerGirl26]

We did have a good time at Dan's on Saturday! It was good to see everyone and visit. We decided to head back to Coit's next month.... so everyone mark your calender now.

Saturday, February 21 @ 12:30pm

Forgot about that...My mom got on an oatmeal kick because you got a few glass in the box. Won't eat oatmeal to this very day.....YUK>>>>>Do you remember having a milkman, Breadman, Door to door insurance COLLECTOR (11 cents a week)? Kids selling Donuts door to door::.......How about people that turned their front room into a small grocery store to help pay their 49.00 a month FHA (G I BILL) house payment......Gosh that was a fun time on the south side of OKC.

Everytime someones post's something on here, it get's my mind to thinking (which could be scary and make a few nervous).
Doe's anyone remember the Black Steer Restaurant on S. Agnew, my mom was the manager there for a couple of years before she moved to El Reno to open her own place.

I don't remember the towels or cups in the box of soap, but I do remember the cups in the box of oatmeal. A few things I recently remembered from my youth, phone numbers that started with letters, Kerr McGee gas stations, full service gas stations, my first haircut at the barber college on S. Agnew, spanking in school, neighbor's that cared, etc;

[grantgeneral78]

[Rickster]

It was real nice meeting some of you people yesterday. Wish more could have showed.

Hey Prunepicker, when was that restaurant at 29th & Indiana? That's closer to where I grew up but I don't remember it.

And Generals64, I'm working on the name of that Rootbeer Stand.

[Generals64]

Spartan be the Social Coordinator?...Hey, Rickster I'm trying to find out the name also. Prunepicker, we're coming after you next month...you and Rickster lived across the street from each other on the Southside.....Figure that one out.

It was good to finally meet you to rickster!

See you at the next meeting.

While I'm probably not considered a true "Southsider", (I graduated from Tuttle High), I did live on the S. side for a few years, lived on SW. 47th, just east of Penn behind Grant Square shopping center and went to Jackson Jr. High. I enjoy talking about "the good old days" and really enjoy meeting new people. I plan on going to the next lunching and meeting everyone on here

[MonkeyBiz6903]

Where was Zorros Taco's?

Its where T&T Chinese Food is now.

[Rickster]

Hey danielf1935, as far as I'm concerned you are a southsider.
I also went to Jackson Jr. High.

[Generals64]

Its where T&T Chinese Food is now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, right on the head. A young man that worked for me dated the owners of Zorro Tacos' daughter....They did so much business I know he was not supposed to tell. He married the girl if my memory serves me right and they sent him on through College.

It was there in the 50's and 60's. I'm not sure when it closed, maybe in the late
60's. Garland's was a little west of Indiana on the north side of the street.

[MonkeyBiz6903]

lol. The Kenny Shoes sign still stands behind T&T's place. Did they tear down the Kennys building, or refurb it into Oreillys? I never went into Kennys.

When I see that old sign it brings back memories of buying shoes at Kinney's. It was the place to buy Ked's....bought our Royal Blue cheerleader shoes there! Also memories of the old Robert Halls store...bought many formal dresses there for proms, banquets and homecoming.

I always thought T&T's had great food....if you didn't look inside when you drove thru to pick your food up. :-)

Does anyone remember the Black Steer Restaurant on S. Agnew, my mom was the manager there for a couple of years before she moved to El Reno to open her own place.

Where on Agnew was the Black Steer?
