Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[Generals64]

My mom and dad must have bought a membership 'cause we went there all the time. I remember mom taking me there to do Christmas shopping. In fact, I think we bought our aluminum christmas tree with the colored wheel there.

My wife`s parents had a aluminum christmas tree when I first started dating her it had a circle light thingy in front of it that made the tree turn diff. colors. I remember thinking (what the crap) as we always had a real tree at our house.

woohoo a gyroscope, that will keep me busy for hours!

What is the story on the gyroscope? I still have one of those.

General 78 wanted one and I have one put up. If it hasn't disappeared again...

I always wanted one of those clear lightbulb looking things that had a metal vane inside that spun around if you put it in a light. I don't remember what they are called.

That site reminded me of the "Drinking Bird" device. I had a couple of those. I probably got them from TG&Y.
