Childhood Memories of OKC

[Prunepicker]

Get Back... How old is she Now... or, should we ask?

I'll remember that the next time Prunette and I go. I wonder if SoonerGirl26
knows this. She said something about going there with some girl friends after
Op'ry show. It' be cool if Rosie was their waitress.

Maybe she was one of the hops that would take the beer back to the kitchen
after looking at us. I don't ever remember getting away with ordering beer
at Hollie's.

Yes, the building is still there. It was about 1/2 a block west of Classen on
the south side of the street.

Nope, not there anymore. Got torn down to make way for a Walgreens a few years ago. The only original Beverly's building I know of still standing is at NW 12 and Walker downtown.

Is the building occupied or vacant? Never knew a Beverly's there.

[Steve]

The building is now home to 1492 New World Cuisine. Very nice renovation was done a couple years ago. It's in MidTown.

Bummer. I thought the restaurant was still there.

The one on NW12th & Walker is what I remember most. Dad and I would walk
there from his shop for breakfast.

Milk delivered on your doorstep. The morning paper being there before daylight and was on your porch. The paper carrier coming to your house once a month to collect in person. Jewel Tea.

Do you remember the guy who came by to clean out yalls' "two holer" outhouse? Well, he's the same guy who delivered us our commodity cheese!! That was some goooood cheese! I remember selling Knack shoes "door to door." Didn't you try selling Avon for a while? Remember when you set up your lemonade stand and I set up a kool-aid stand and ran you out of business the first week-end?

[USG '60]

It certainly was.

You're absolutely right! It became Jimmy's Egg, I believe his first location, in
the late 70's @ 77-78. The menu, at that time, had about 30 omelets, and
you could special order your own.

Was there a Beverley's on the south side? I don't remember one.

Life was good huh. Although now it seems kinda gross. Milk sitting on your doorstep on a hot August morning. Let alone the "desperate housewife" visions. Think the milkmen had some stories to tell? And whatever happened to the paper being put on the porch.....Thats one of the reasons I dont have it delivered anymore. I was getting more exercise walking down to the street to retrieve my paper than my paperboy was from throwing it 3' from the curb

I remember when the Journal was first delivered. HB Atkinson instructed the
paperboys to put the paper between the screen and the door the first week
or so. That was so the paper would fall into the doorway and the resident
would pick it up and not think twice about going for the other paper on the
porch.

Yes!! 29th and May. Same shopping center TG&Y and Griders were. Beverley's access was off of 29th. Had an uncle who worked there after his stint in the Air Force.

[SOUTHSIDE GIRL]

Yes, and they would serve a hugh bowl of ice cream for dessert.

It later became a steak house. Don't know the name but I only ate there when it was Beverley's.

Anyone know how it came to be called "Chicken in the Rough"?

Go ahead! Take a guess.

Beverly and his wife were moving to California. Along the way while traveling down a rough and bumpy road, Beverly hit a big bump in the road, this caused a basket of fried chicken his wife had fixed for them to eat along the way to be dumped out onto the floorboard of his car. His wife stated this is chicken in the rough. He turned the car around, stayed in Oklahoma, and the rest is history.
