    Jacks Steak House, was owned by Jack Cornellus. He had a 56' Continental Mark II, just like Elvis.

    I had one of those. I haven't thought about that in 40-years.

    Surely my friend, you dine there along with all the other Grant socialites during your teen age years.....I'll bet that you even ate at Kip's Big Boy restaurant with the Special Sauce dripping all over your favorite shirt while on a date with the prettiest girl you have even seen.......No wait a minute I think that was me....

    I loved Pizza Planet but, I cannot remember Jack's and it's driving me crazy. Please tell me exact location.

    I grew up south of the metro but would make the drive with one parent or the other to North OKC pretty much weekly. My most prevalent memory is actually that of road construction on I-35. I am pretty sure that the past year or so is the only time in my life that some part of I-35 between the Shields exit and Downtown was not under construction, and I am 32.

    I remember going to Wedgewood amusement park, we lived just east of Grant Square shopping center, seemd like it took for ever to get there. I liked Wedgewood, but Springlake was my favorite. I also remember going to a drive in theater, is was just down the road from Wedgewood, it had a playground that kids could play on before the movies started.

    When I was in highschool we had our graduation party at the 14-Flags drive-in.

    by the time i was a kid, 14-flags had been torn down. while the housing addition with the same name had been built around it, the area that had been the screen was still an open field. i used to shoot model rockets in that field. they've since filled that space with houses, though.

    Maybe the NW Hi-Way Drive-In where the Marriott is at Independence, I don't remember that one but I do remember the Cinema 70 Drive-In was where the Hertz and old Service Merchandise/Chili's was on NW Expressway, I don't remember a playground but it might have had one. I know one that did was the Twilight Gardens Drive-In where The Collonade center is in The Village just north of Britton on May across from the old Jackie Cooper BMW.

    Links from Drive-Ins.com and the Oklahoma Section.

    I remember seeing what must have the NW Highway Drive-In as one of the sites from the rotating restaurant at the top of Founders Tower when it first opened.

    I don't remember a Pizza Planet on S. Pennsylvania. There was one in MWC and
    on NW 23rd.

    I ate a Kip's! Not that often but it was good.

    Jack's Steak House was small, it was located on South Penn on the west side of the street about 1/2 block North of S.W. 59th. It was there for years. Just to the south of it would have been Big Giant Muffler and then a little sleezy bar! Hope that helps!!

    We moved to Tuttle when I was in the 9th grade, if we had a school dance/prom, we had to have it some where in OKC, Tuttle had a very big Baptist influence, and we couldn't dance in a public setting in Tuttle. MY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

    Thanks R/G! Now I remember the place, I used to eat breakfast there sometimes. That sleazy bar was called the Devil's Den. When I was growing up I thought there must be some bad things going on in there. When I was around 30 years old I went in the place just to check it out...just a dive.

    I remember my parents taking the whole family to the Cinema 70 Drive-in on the opening night. Years later I went to a Grant after party there that was one wild party, many people were arrested, and their names were printed on the front page of the newspaper. Don't remember the year (68-69?) but I got in big trouble just for being there.
