Hey guys, how was the meeting yesterday? Really wanted to go but have been busy working on my kitchen. Sorry I haven't been on lately, hope no one's been talking smack about me. LOL.

There are still a few of the old homesteads there on May Avenue but they have been covered with Siding and brought up to code I think. the old Freight Cars are still there.....I got my Driver's license in '62 and it was probably in '63 that I went down in there the few times that I did go. The people were SUPER nice and very considerate. They didn't even wonder why some 16 year old kid from another part of the Southside was there. They just wave and talked about my old car (55 chevy) I thought the car was cool and so did the residents....Even USG60 had some of the same experiences.....Rickster can probably shine more light on this...Also, there were some of the same type dwellings off Penn and about S.W. 5th...
There's a baseball field there now I think....
Mulligan Flats?

Yes, that is what it was always called. There is a correctional facility on the North side of I-40 and that was some school but I can't remember the name. The correctional center is called Carver.... Mark Twain Elementary is on n.w. 2nd and Villa....which is known as Agnew on the south side of OKC.
I thought that was what it was called. Sandtown! I knew a girl who lived
there, west of 2nd & Villa.
It was called Carver elementary! That's all I ever heard it called. I remember
when it was built. I have a friend who was the warden there. Not when it
was an elementary school, just when it was the correctional facility.
Who did I miss at the Southside OKC Memories get together last Satuday?
I saw Gen64, Gen78 and his wife Gen2009, SouthsideGirl, Soonergirl26,
Gen60, Bowtieguy(?), papaOU, Frisky and someone I don't know.
Was DougLoudenback there? Anyone else?
Doug was there but left after eating. A first timer with a friend. Alice went from grade-school with SouthSide Girl. The three of us went to Jr.high and part of high-school but she moved late in the game and graduated from Mustang High in 1973. Attempting to get her to take part with her memories as well. Her friend is a Western Heights grad.
Rowdy55ok was back after missing the last two months.
Everybody that reads this post do me a favor.....Send TeriOKC a PM inviting her to the next Soutside meeting....Don't be "Ugly" be as kind as you can and since she started this thing she should at least come to one of the meetings......Can you do it for an OLD MAN?????
Here's a link to the first message!
Re: Southside OKC Memories... anyone?
You can send her a PM from there!
My dad was also one of the founding physicians of South Community hospital. Loved being a Southsider with many fond memories. Recently I bought a bike for my son and recalled the great times we used to have at Skate-A-Rama, Golf-A-Rama, and getting bikes from Bike-A-Rama.
What was the pitch and putt on S. Western? I think it was north of the
river a few blocks.
