Childhood Memories of OKC

[Generals64]

Hey:........in 1957 I had a friend (actually did Prunepicker) who was two years older than me at the time....We traveled the southside of OKC on our bicycles and attempted to conquer the Dragons....Then one night he came to my house and told me they (his family) were moving to another part of town....That was it.....About two weeks ago I saw his name on another forum and I questioned if it was the same guy and lo and behold it was.....The only thing bad this whole thing is he ended up Graduating from "cough-cough" Capitol Hill...52 years ago was the last time I saw or heard of him........thanks Southsiders....We still have memories....

You can't prove that...

You're right. But he was passed out in the back of your car, and your car
doesn't even have a backseat.

[Generals64]

Yep - that was me...I'll testify...

================================================== =========
Hey Lauri101:..........this is a pretty rough crowd.....once they get their "Walkers" greased up......Prunepicker heard they were doing some dirt work on S. Walker and he panicked....He thought they were trying to work on his Walker....

You need to wear a dress and put some lip stick on if you go there!!

Mr. Kaiser was tighter than paint on a barn. My Dad had business dealings
with him. He was a nice really, really, really, really old man.

Hey! I remember buying a pilot's helmet that fit my head. It had speakers in
it! I rewired it and used it for head phones. I'd go to bed with it on.

Then there was the bazooka... it cost 15 to 20... probation...

We used to go to Sam's when I was older for clothing.

I found all the good military surplus stores were downtown.

Remember Big Ed's? Now there is a place in L.A. touting their OMG Burger. (Saw it on way early national news) 4 pounds of meat, plus tomatoes, onions, cheese and other salad stuff. Their "executive chef" even adds 4 pounds of fries to complete it. Copy cats!!!!! Just like bacon cheese burgers, I don't remember one being on anyone's menu until Hollie's closed. Not to say there weren't some; I just don't remember any

A&W had the teen burger which was a bacon cheese burger way back when.

Yeah, my mother had it back in the 50's. I was in Rhode Island one time and ordered a Bacon cheeseburger...Coke....French fries....The waitress looked at me like I was crazy....First of all the served Pepsi only....and what is a Bacon Cheeseburger?. I told her and the cook came from the back to make sure she had the order right....I agreed....they brought me the burger...had a guy with me...he ordered the same and then we both ordered a Banana Split......Great food.....then the bill came .....$64.44...I about passed out......Expensive bacon and Banana Split.....

I don't know if there were any before, but Hollies had the best and none have even come close to coping it.

Another was the triple decker with cheese at the Spot! Do not think anyone has tried to copy it before or since.

Amen to that! My brother and I and our at that time wives were at Hollie's one night after a concert, might have been Neil Young's After The Goldrush appearance at the Myriad, we'd placed our order and were conversing about the concert in our blown to hell state of mind when all of a sudden, whoever had the order taking duty came back on and joined right in the conversation like she'd been part of it all along. Like to have freaked us out

A&W had the teen burger which was a bacon cheese burger way back
when.

They had the Papa, Mama, Teen and Baby burgers. I don't remember the
difference between the Papa and Mama. I think the Mama had mayo and the
Papa had mustard.

How many mugs do you have in your collection? I've got 2 or 3. One is a
baby mug.

Sadly I don't have any and I would like to have at least 1 so I could make root-beer floats in it.

[Generals64]

If you start coming back to the meetings, I'm sure Coit's would sell you one.....Hint-hint.....

I'd give you one but you'd be receiving stolen property and could go to jail.
Other than that, I wouldn't give you one, anyway, because their mine.

Gosh! I was almost benevolent! It felt weird. I might not do that again.

Coit's sells AW mugs?

I always liked the Trigger Burger....I mean Double-R Bar burger at Roy Roger's. I don't think I ever ate at Hollie's, we had the A&W at 23rd & Meridian and Bonaparte's on NW 39th. There was also a place called the Jolly Roger at NW 23rd by Ann Arbor, it was a the last thing that I can remember in there was a Monterey Jack's.

I agree with the Double-R-Bar at Roy Rogers.

I also miss the seasoning salt that Arby's had for their roast beef sandwich.

The green sauce at Taco Bell. Don't use the individual packaged they now have.
