Southside OKC Memories....anyone?

[Generals64]

Had some memorable "gang" fights out there. One turned tragic in '61.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's weird, my wife and I were talking about that last night. Whatever happened to the guy who shot the other guy???It was a mere chance accident in my opinion. He had had enough bullying....What do you think?????

Now that I looked at a google map, the pumping unit was off of May., and I've been gone from OKC so long I didn't know all those houses were out there, and even a hospital.

As further proof of my poor deteriorating mind, I know that I heard something about him several months ago, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. However, it might just be telling me that it wasn't memorable. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nonetheless, I don't remember. And YES about the bullying .... absolutely. He was blind as a bat even with thick glasses; he just aimed out and up not knowing Roy was going to leap up in the air as he attacked with the tire tool. As I said when we talked about this a year or so ago, Roy was a friend of mine but Alvin was guilty of no crime. He didn't take the gun out there. Jimmy D, stuck it in his hand and said Shoot him, when he saw Roy grab the tire tool. Jimmy was the guiltiest person out there that day.

Opps, what are supposed to be talking about?

Alvin was Blind and Roy had kicked his glasses off and broke them in half. My sister was a '61 graduate and I was a Roosevelt but, the news traveled fast. It's a shame that anyone got killed but its more of shame that kids carry guns to school now all the time....

[papaOU]

Elivra was the one who really wanted to come.

The Count said he spent too much time with old people as it is..........

[grantgeneral78]

She said that they had heard about the Nostalgia and the Southside/Anyone can come meeting....If you'll look back there is a thread about Count Gregore and someone went to school with his kids or something. They The count and Elvira thought it was cool that he and they were being remembered and they just wanted to participate.....If you noticed, The Count even called some of the old Disc Jockey's or our Eras and invited them to the next meeting in October...So, don't be surprised......Good clean fun and doesn't cost much now does it????

[USG '60]

Wow. Nearly to page 100.

She was Elvira? I honestly don't remember her. I know she wasn't Elvira of
the Night that was on cable, and might still be. Was the Count a DJ? Is he
on this thread? I'm not keeping up to date very well.

If I noticed? I don't know how to notice.

[Generals64]

all I know is they haad a picture together as the Count and Elvira....They work together at different events....No, she wasn't the Elvira of the Cable Era. But, they looked good together and they seemed happy...And, they were at the Southside Nostalgia Meeting #13 that wasn't supposed to last that long....And, I'm glad they were there.....Almost 100 pages......Yee Haw....

[grantgeneral78]

I never noticed what they pulled up in, ....hmmm

Maybe a cool Herman Munster coffin car?

NAHHHHHHHHHHH

You're close. It was a 1986 Yugo.

JUST KIDDING!

[Generals64]

Who knows, Danny Williams might show at the next meeting. I guess it is now the THING to be a Southside Nostalgia member????? Oh well, we did have the Count and his Sidekick....Now back to reality does anyone remember when they changed the curve (Deadman's Curve) out on 74th Expressway (I-240)? Not trivia just got to talking about it and we couldn't remember the time frame that they moved and closed that death trap down....

[Generals64]

Reading through some of the memories....How many of you guys used to stay up ALL Night and hear the top hits of the Previous year on New Years Eve night. Now, what did you do for other fun on that night? Easy PapaOU, I mean in your younger days...I remember playing Monopoly one new Years eve and we ended up playing a whole week-end before one of us lost.....Now It's bed time at around 9:30 and hope we wake up in the new year.....

Be careful with Danny Williams. The last time I remember anyone
mentioning 3D to him he was wasn't very happy about it. Maybe things
have changed.

As far as "Deadman's Curve" It was removed during the very late 80's and
very early 90's.

Why is it that guys wanted to take that curve so fast? I was one of them.
Because it was there?

I one saw the underside of an 18 wheeler's trailer from the passenger side
of a Triumph sports car. "Veer left, John! A WHOLE LOT LEFT!"

I can't tell you how many times the home along the curve were evacuated
because a natural gas truck wrecked on it.
