Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

Prunepicker, did you know a guy by the name of Bobby Christie? He had atleast one sister I remember by the name of Jan (Yowza), she was purty. They lived on Miller just south of the school for awhile, then they moved over to 63rd just west of Villa.

The Principal was Mr. Webb. Yeah, he swung a mean stick. Hulgan was the
substitute teacher when Mrs. Duncan had surgery. Mrs. Crowell was 2nd,
Zwhalen was 3rd, then Mrs. Kisler, Mrs. Taylor and Chaney. Ronconi taught
Kindergarten. I saw her in 2000. I didn't go to Kindergarten. Other teachers
were Mrs. Mackey, Mrs. Mays (and the look) The twins Mrs. Harlin, Mrs. Henry,
Mrs. Sipe, Mrs. Peterson ran the kitchen. Her daughter would beat me up on
the play ground.

The favorite game was "we won't stop" . Tether ball was great, four
square, soft ball.

I forgot all about Mrs. Harlin....and yes it was Webb a solid gray headed man.

And yes tether ball ruled when I was there....and at the far west end of the playground was a large shrub...that was where you took your girlfriend to get a kiss......haha

Make me really feel old guys.....Mr. Webb was supposed to be my 5th grade teacher but he moved off to be principal somewhere in that area. I got Mrs. Bowman instead......Mean is a four-letter word......

Yes! Bobby and Lee. I didn't know the sister. We're about the same age and,
duh, played baseball together.

I hadn't heard about that game in a long time.

You're right, it was "Circus Time Family Restaurant," and I'm sure I put a post about it in the early ages of this thread. Wonderful building designed to look like an actual circus tent; you ordered food at the table over a shiny red phone. It was a nice familiy place where you could get burgers and sandwiches, and I was heartbroken as a kid when it burned down under mysterious circumstances....

Speaking of red phones who remembers Across the Street restuarant?

I don't know if we really knew the rules but the way we played it was fun.

[FRISKY]

I don't remember the rules either. I only remember you played it on a square marked on the ground.

These look like the rules we used.

Odd you mentioned ACROSS THE STREET RESTAURANT that was my very first job in 1974-75. It was a fun place to work at.

Do you remember how you ordered your food?

If I'm not mistaken. I remember ordering by phone. Then waiting on a return call notifying me that my order was ready. Spaghetti Red was our dish of choice.

Anyone here remember Shaw Drug in the Mayridge Shopping Center and if so, what was the name of the original Grocery store next to it....Now, what was on the far north end next to Shaw Drug?

Jim's grocery, I knew a guy was soda jerk at Shaw's. Wasnt there a dry cleaner north of that? I remember TGY where dollar store is now.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

[gen70]

How about the Razz-Ma-Tazz just off Agnew & 59th before it became a S/J? It later became Pannama Reds.

Hey, a bunch of the young people never knew what Foy's was. Foy was Jim Prices brother. TG&Y was at 1600 S.W. 74th st. We always called the Store 74th and Penn never really thought of any other address for it. Or it was called store #411.
The lady that ran the toy department (Arlene Stalnaker) took major pride in the selection of models she kept on hand....Shaw Drug's North neighbor was just
a neighborhood cleaners and yet around the corner there was aboot shop and a local bar....remember Red/Gen?
Here's one I had forgotten but a lot of you will remember...Remember Jack's Steak House on south Penn? Many stories came out of that place huh guys?

Wasn't there a Sirloin Stockade there once?

There was a Sirloin Stockade where Walgreen's (CVS) is located now. Across the street from the old Country Club Drive-Inn. Then a Chinese joint.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

Was originally owned by an old Grant Graduate ....Joe Don Garner....He has since passed away. Red/Gen used to frequent the Round Table quite a bit.

Anyone remember the Round Table bar?

In the Almonte Shopping Center. The food was pretty good.

There was one on the north side off of 39th Expressway a block or two west of
May. It became a biker gang bar. I believe the Outlaws hung out there.
