Hey, when you are kinda stoved up you have time to think and with Loritabs you think some really weird things...But I remember the "Fights" that would go on on the South Side....You won or you lost...You stayed mad but you got over it....Now you can get "Lead Poisoning" and you are gone either boy or girl. I remember a few Ball bats drug out but the only thing that would get hit would be a car or the ground...you didn't REALLY want to "Kill" someone...you might go to lunch with them the next day....The guy in Edmond that accidentally went to sleep in an elementary school parking lot with 17 loaded guns and 12 knives and 1300 rounds of ammunition....Not real smart.....then the kid at the Edmond middle school threatened a girl (bigger than he was) with a knife...Once again Not real smart.....I have carried a knife since I was about 6 years old....I guess I was gonna skin a "Bar" or something....My birthday present from my grandfather when I was Three was a ,22 single shot....Knew better than to threaten anyone with it....And definitely don't take it to school...Remember the southside???
I think most of the boys carried knives, especially in elementary school. You
got it when you could show that you knew how to handle it. It was a rite of
passage. A teacher wouldn't think twice about it. We played mumbly peg or
threw them into the ground.
I never took a gun to school, well maybe for show and tell once.
Does any one remember the name of the drug store in Reding Shopping Center? It was immediately south of Rudy's Bestyet. Rudy's is the only grocery store I remember in Reding. Were there others previously?
I don't know how many of you are Facebookers, but someone recently started a FB page you might find interesting - "Heck Yeah, I grew up in South OKC! (I-240 area)". Lots of southside memories. You may find some old friends.
The Humpty Dumpty sign was great.
The first drug store when Reding Shopping Center opened in 1955 was Veazey's. Later Harvey's Drug Store was there.
