    When did they move out? I hadn't heard that until now.

    (this counts for southside memories because Leo's is on the southside of
    N.E. 36th and N. Kelly)

    That's right SoonerGirl. Leo's had a fire sometime back, moved to 4th & Harrison. Had been there long enough I thought they were staying there permanently. However, I drove by 36th & Kelley last week and noticed they were back.

The two-day event will include arts and crafts, car show, music from all generations, chili cook-off, guitar art contest, food, drink and much more.

    Here are the places he did a show.

    Leo's BBQ
    Mama E's Wings and Waffles
    Nic's Grill
    Cattleman's
    Ingrid's
    Eischen's
    Leo's was from a prior production run, I think.

    I know this round the show also did a segment on The Diner in downtown Norman. Sadly, we recently lost Mark Amspacher, owner of The Diner for the past many years.

    Wrong Question:...."why in the heck did you get out at 4:00 a.m"......I don't believe there's a 12-15 year old boy around anymore that would (or could) do that anymore....

    It would be considered child abuse to allow a kid to have a paper route now, wouldn't it?

    Definitely,......I never had one but I attempted to help a kid in the neighborhood.....about the third morning at 4:00 O'clock I decided I could do something else....Like selling Donuts door to door.....Imagine that in today's society.....You'd be afraid to let your kid do that because all of the Wacko's...

    I threw papers back then, and there was a few wacko's back then. I do think thats a lot of the problem with the kids now days, there not willing to work to get the things they want.

    No kidding. Not that all child labor laws are bad but thanks some of them kids
    aren't allowed to know what it's like to work, or develop a work ethic.
    Was anyone's life destroyed because of a grouchy route manager who yelled
    and threatened?

    If I had never had a paper route, I would never have learned how to wake up and get to 7:00 AM college classes.

    I didn't have a grouchy route manager but I did know a bunch of grumpy old TG&Y Supervisors...Man I started with them when I was 15 years old.....then like Sam said, if I wanted something, I had to earn the money.....School clothes consisted of two pair of Levis, 3 T-Shirts, 3 Shirts and a package of socks. I was allowed $4.00 for shoes if I wanted any others (Wedges) then I had to come up with the rest of the money.....Got a new coat for Christmas usually....couple a times, the old coat was a bit small......and, the Wedges at Levines were around $6.99 to $7.99.....

    What were wedge's? We had Weejun's - penny loafers. Of course I had to
    wear bullet proof wing tips. They were heck during gym. Mom always
    bought blue jeans that were 5 inches longer than my legs because I was
    supposed to grow into them. They made cool cuffs and playground dirt
    bins. 300 boys x 2 cuffs each could move 2 tons of dirt per week. No
    wonder the ball fields were always flooded when it rained.

    Your mother didn't buy them 5 inches longer intentionally, that was as close a length as she could get.....You know, I hate to break it to you but, you really aren't 6'2" with a true pack.....We've just been telling you that to make you feel good....

    You are soooooo right. You couldn't wear them (the shoes) out of the store before you got the taps put on because it wasn't cool if you didn't "Drag" your feet.....My dad made it Very , Very clear that I was NOT to drag my feet though.....those little pencil belts back then really stung....

    I wanted a pair so bad, but my parents wouldn't let me have them. I had to put the horse shoe taps on my ordinary shoes. Bummer.
