Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[Generals64]

Gen64.... I was about to ground you for 2 weeks for not showing up, but then I heard you had an emergency... so you're forgiven. Love, Mom

Had a good time, new faces, good conversation... and then Frisky took me for a spin in his new bright yellow Corvette! It was groovy man!!!

~~~

================================================== ==========
Missed you guys (especially the Corvette). I have had another bout with the old Kidney Stones. Think I'll have you a necklace made Mom. I have a new equation:.........Kidney Stones + Morphine/Loritabs also:..equal...Lalalalalalal Land. These things hurt like nobody has ever hurt. I'm very tired of Mother Nature.....

You know why we women think God gave you guys kidney stones? So you would know what childbirth feels like to us!!!!!

We did miss you! Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) was asking where you were!! And........geez, I think I'll pass (no pun intended) on the "stone" necklace.... don't think it will match any of my outfits! Hope you're feeling better.

Well if your having a problem with the Morphine/Loritabs, I may be able to
help you out.

... How many remember the old house on the North East corner of S.W. 59th
and May? any stories to share?

Do you remember Mrs. Campbell at the TG&Y Store at 44th & May? How
about Mrs. Scroggins? can you name the shoe store between TG&Y and Jim's
IGA...

I remember the house on the corner. We lived just south of it.

Mrs. Scroggins doesn't ring a bell but we probably saw her since that was
our TG&Y store. Was the shoe store Red Goose?

I'm trying to remember all of the shops in that strip. Shaw drug was on the
north end then there was that "L" with something else.

================================================== ===========
Everybody that was a kid on that side of town had to deal with Mrs. Scroggins at one time or other...She was the Toy Department Manager......Now do you remember her???? Mrs. Campbell (neighbor across the street from where I lived) was the Hardware and Candy lady in the store...tough old gal at the store or at home.....The name of the Shoe Store was Pay-Less Shoes....There was a cleaners just north of Shaw Drug and then you turned the corner and there was a shoe shop and Ladies Hair Salon along with a local Pub....

The Pub was the "RoundTable".

The Pub was the "RoundTable".

Wasn't the Round Table in Almonte? There was one west of N. May off of
N.W. 39th Expressway, too. It became a biker bar.

Your right Prune, it was in Almonte shopping center. I get confused sometimes. I do remember the "RoundTable" on northside, I think at one time it was called "Wild Bills".

================================================== =============
The Round Table in almonte Center was started and owned by an old 1964 U.S. Grant Graduate (Joe Don Garner). Joe has passed away however.....Used to be pretty good lace to go to....sometimes a little too rowdy....

Were there waitresses? I remember a large window on the south side of the
room. Did you place your order there?

The house at 59th & May, I seem to remember a time there were two house sitting side be side there (many moons ago).

Now do you remember her?

No :-( I'm sure I saw her. As I said earlier, that was the TG&Y went to most
of the time until the World's Largest was built. We still went to the one at
Mayridge.

[Prunepicker]

Jim's IGA in the Mayridge Shopping Center. He had 10 cent ham samiches in
the meat department.

Were there 4 aisles?

================================================== =============
Four or more, that was quite a Supermarket in it's day. His brother Foy actually started the store and Jim later on bought it from him...My dad was a produce OTR driver and he would bring back extra cases of All kinds of fruit and my dad would trade Jim (and Foy) the extra fruit for other food products or gift certificates......

I worked at Jims as a stocker back then...was a fun job!

Yes my bad I thought you were talking about the one on 74th.

Rickster:

The houses you're thinking of are still there, but they sit on the corners of SW 53rd and 52nd and May, respectively.
