I believe we have covered a bunch of the old business`s.

So, we will bend the rules a bit now.

BUSINESS CAN BE OLD OR NEW NOW, BUT MUST BE IN OKC.

E - El Charrito. This maybe should have been a "C", oh well. Worked at the restaurant on Paseo, on and off, from '67 to '70. They sold out to Dallas' El Chico around '69 I think.

Rick

I was there many times.

[papaOU]

Well I am going to make a clarification here:

International House of Pancakes. Next to St. Anthony, and the one on N. May across the street from NW Classen. Those two places were great and the new ones around town, or out of town for that matter really suck and too high priced.
