Favorite Skyline Shots

[Pete]

Thought I would start a new thread, since most of these get buried in the Devon thread.

Love this one:

I put this one in the Auto Alley thread, but thought it should be included here as well:

This is the only good one from 1212:

Pete, who took #1? I'd like to get permission to reprint it on the back cover of some future issue of "The New Classen Life" which is the 40-page slick quarterly magazine of the Classen High School Alumni Association...

Is the magazine going to be about the school or "life" around Classen Boulevard? If the latter, how do you get on the mailing list?

Not really either of those; the Alumni Association membership is mostly made up of those who attended old Classen HS, plus a few alums from Classen School of Advanced Studies. The magazine grew out of a simple newsletter; it now features reports and lots of pictures from class reunions, informal alum gatherings (several classes get together every month or every quarter for lunch), chatty reports from correspondents all around the country, and a generous helping of NW OKC nostalgia pieces such as the history of Beverly's restaurants and memories of Taft Junior High, and a bit of current OKC information such as Thundermania.

Association dues are $20/year, covering January through December, and the magazine goes free to members, in February, May, August, and November. Since the association is a federally recognized non-profit, it cannot sell the magazine itself (according to our legal beagles), but membership is open to anyone interested. Currently there are just a bit less than 2,000 members; most of them are from classes graduating in the late 40s to early 60s. Class size dropped significantly in 1956 when NW Classen opened, and stopped entirely in 1985 when the school was converted to a 5th-year center.

The first one is awesome! Also, if you closely to the left of Devon, the clouds look as if there are mountains in the horizon. Looks kind of cool even though they don't exist.

[dankrutka]

Yeah. That first one would be a nice addition to OKC's Wikipedia page...

[LuccaBrasi]

The first image Pete posted is outstanding. It should be on a post card. Good thread to start up, thanks Pete.

[Thundercitizen]

Yeah. That first one would be a nice addition to OKC's Wikipedia page...

You can even see the Rocky Mountains on the horizon.

The 1st picture is awesome, I'm surprised it wasn't attributed until someone asked.

Jim, Are you one of the Boulevard Boys?

[dmoor82]

Jim, Are you one of the Boulevard Boys?

Well, yes and no. I'm from the Class of 1948 but I don't participate in the monthly gathering of "The Boulevard Boys" group at the Boulevard Cafeteria on the first Friday of each month; it's a bit too far to drive!

Beau Wade did a couple of shots similar to #1 except they were taken while a thunderstorm was passing thru:

While I'm tossing up some Beau Wade pics, might as well throw in a few more city shots:
