Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[ctchandler]

Do you remember Salami's hot Dogs on S.W. 29th just east of Douglas? Heronville and McKinley were real close...I'm sure you remember the old Reding Farm House at 36th & Western and the crawdad pond at 36th and Steel!! Real close to your house!!

You have mentioned several items that I know very well. I really don't remember Salami's but my sister went to Heronville because Rancho Village wasn't built yet. I rode horses, goats, swept Mrs. Reding's porch, washed dishes, gathered eggs and other chores for 25 cents each chore when I was pretty young. I played around that pond a lot, caught crawdad's for fun. Once I walked out on the pond when it was frozen. The ice cracked and I fell through. Of course it wasn't deep, but I went home frozen. By the way, wasn't the soft ice cream place "Frozen Delight" very close to Salami's?

That be it! Probably the house on the West side of the street on the corner on Steele St? I lived around the corner on 34th and Douglas!

I was born and spent all of my early life (until I left home) at 1128 S. W. 37th and I don't remember Steele street. I had to go to Google maps to find it. I'm sure I was on the street, just not aware of the name.

I wonder if I know you, depending on your age. I had a friend on the corner of either 34th or 35th and Douglas. I am 67 and I think the boy I knew was pretty close to the same age.

Can you remember the location of the place that made those shore patrol salads??????????

My aunt worked there for a while but I'm having trouble with the exact street. It was one block west of the bus station on the North West corner. They had very good and reasonable steaks and the wilted lettuce salad, referred to as "shore patrol salad". I think due to the fact the the Navy shore patrol stayed in the area looking for drunk sailors. It was very popular with performers that appeared at the Municipal auditorium (Civic center music hall) and there were lots of pictures and autographs on the walls.

I forgot to mention, they sold ham sandwiches at the state fair long after they closed their doors.

Bill Hardy's Steakhouse? Was it on W. Sheridan or Grand at
the time?

It was on Sheridan. I believe it was on the North West corner of I believe Dewey and Sheridan, but it could have been Lee and Sheridan. It was across the street from a couple of bars that were frequented by sailors and airmen from Tinker.

By the way, you seem to know, when was it on Grand? And where on Grand? You must be pretty close to my age or older! I was going there in the forties and that's the only location I remember.

Eastside of street. My buddy Roy had older sisters, Pat and Nancy.

I have to respond to my own post, after reading a lot of the posts on businesses in OKC, I noticed a question about a "Brown Derby" on S. W. 29th, about a block West of Western. I believe that is the correct name I was looking for, not "Frozen Delight". Now, does anybody remember a Frozen Delight?

CT, I'd SWEAR I knew you at Grant, with older sisters named Brenda (mine spelled with a Y instead of e), but if that is correct, why did you go to Grant while living so close to CHHS?

First, we probably knew each other, but my sister was Judy Chandler. Second, 1/2 mile to CHHS, 1 1/2 mile to Grant but I was in the Grant district. Third, I went by Clint for a short while. And last, I don't understand your comment "(mine spelled with a Y instead of e)".

I was wondering, what is the rule about posting email addresses? Is there a private way?

CT, I'm an old braindead hippy and I get a LOT of things confused. You ARE who I thought you were. I'm picking my brain trying to come up with with how I thought Judy's name was Brenda. She and my sister, BrYnda, were good friends. So, in fact, my brain simply simply made a some kind of leap from CT to Clint. It didn't seem QUITE right to me, but I thought, well I bet he used the initials SOMEtimes and somehow it stuck in my brain. Regardless of my excuses, welcome to the board. If you want a trip, set aside an afternoon and read this entire thread. It is the HISTORY of the southside.

Well, now you know that I know who you are. I'm assuming of course that you have received my email. For others on the group that might be in the same age group, I went by Clint for a couple of years. I have read a lot of this thread but not all of it and it's really a "trip". Thanks for the note BB.

Grand Avenue later became Sheridan. Not sure when that
happened. You knew that, right? You're older than me.

Do I know you or not? Even remember the Bonds who lived across the street from you.. I'm the the real deal - see ya' soon!! Who am I????

I'm just a child, so how would I know that? Actually, I really had to think about it and I do remember that it was Grand. When it was mentioned in relation to Hardy's I was thinking Grand Boulevard. Now it makes sense. By the way, I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I am 67.

So, what color was the Ford? OK, yukky green. Actually, we lived next door to the Bonds. Now, don't keep me in the dark, either give me more hints or tell me who you are. Yes, I am a Jr.

No, not yet anyway, CT. I don't know what the problem could be.

I think it is a message posted on this group, not sent to your email address. Click on the "Notifications" then "Inbox up in the right hand corner. By the way, I just uploaded a picture and of course, no one will recognize me but it is actually my fat body in the picture.

[ctchandler]

Well, it appears my picture didn't appear. Either I did something wrong or it has to be approved by the moderator(s) of this group. I suspect it needs to be approved.
