I never knew his sister, the Ricky I'm talking about was your age or I think a year older. Skinny, wore glasses and REAL quiet! I never had a Camaro but had 3 Chevelle's and 2 vette's!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, there was a guy.....I talked with his Sister (T) not too long ago and my statement to her was "How's Ricky"? Her answer was he's doing all right. I didn't know until right now....But, He was a little "Cocky" and probably helped start the fight don't you know?...Hey, still got your Camaro????
Not the same Rick. This Ricky was your age or maybe a year or so older. Skinny,very very quiet and wore glasses. I never had any Camaro's but had 3 Chevelle's and 2 Vette's. This Ricky Montgomery was an expert mechanic and big time racer.. I don't know if he had sister's or not!!

You know, we're talking about another Ticky Montgomery. This one actually lived on 51st and ran around with Danny Parker.....I didn't really think he was a car mechanic but, I've been wrong once in a while....

Not Ricky Montgomery with the sister Teresa, older guy, look him up in one of your yearbooks!! The one you mentioned hung out at trueloves and was a good little pool shooter and ran with Ricky Roberts. NOT the same guy.

Southside.:gossip:

Where was Zorros Taco's?

Far from it Prunepicker.

Where was Zorros Taco's?

I think it was on S. Western between 44th and 59th. I'm not sure.

Whilst I'm sitting here on my death bed...

Does anybody remember a restaurant on SW 29th @ Indiana called Garland's?
They had a smorgasbord.

That use to be considered the nicest place on the Southside you could eat at back in the fifties!! And then along came McHenrys just west of Western on 59th and it was "THE" place to eat.

The Garlands I'm thinking about was on S.W. 29th just one half block west of Walker next door to Browns Coin Shop!! Maybe there were two?

I liked Garland's, especially the cottage cheese with pineapple. McHenry's was
more modern looking and Garlands was more homey. Both had good food.

S.W. 54th and Western on the West side....By the old Robert Hall's building.

Is that where D&D's Drive-In was?

Thanks Prunepicker and Generals64. I used to eat there, but could'nt place where it was.

I am assuming you graduated from grant in 70 right?

Did you know any guys with the last name childers?

Anyone remember the S&H GREEN STAMP store over on I-35 AND 44TH STREET. It was pretty neat except all the good stuff cost 150,000,000 books.

grantgeneral78! Yes I did graduate in 70. The name Childers doesn't ring a bell but, it's been 39 years and my memory ain't what it once was.

Oh ok, how was the football team in the late 60`s early 70`s?...when i was there they werent horrible like they are these days.

Yes over across from the putt putt course and skating rink...it is the same one that was at the state fairgrounds. .....but alas it is gone now.

I remember when it was in the very back of the Penney's store in Capitol Hill. That was also back by the section where we bought all the stuff for our Brownie/Girl Scout uniforms in grade school.

I also remember when my mom used to get kitchen towels and drinking glasses in our laundry detergent boxes.

We did have a good time at Dan's on Saturday! It was good to see everyone and visit. We decided to head back to Coit's next month.... so everyone mark your calender now.

Forgot about that...My mom got on an oatmeal kick because you got a few glass in the box. Won't eat oatmeal to this very day.....YUK>>>>>Do you remember having a milkman, Breadman, Door to door insurance COLLECTOR (11 cents a week)? Kids selling Donuts door to door::.......How about people that turned their front room into a small grocery store to help pay their 49.00 a month FHA (G I BILL) house payment......Gosh that was a fun time on the south side of OKC.

Everytime someones post's something on here, it get's my mind to thinking (which could be scary and make a few nervous).
Doe's anyone remember the Black Steer Restaurant on S. Agnew, my mom was the manager there for a couple of years before she moved to El Reno to open her own place.

I don't remember the towels or cups in the box of soap, but I do remember the cups in the box of oatmeal. A few things I recently remembered from my youth, phone numbers that started with letters, Kerr McGee gas stations, full service gas stations, my first haircut at the barber college on S. Agnew, spanking in school, neighbor's that cared, etc;

+how about the china dishes you would get at safeway...werent they fireking brand?

It was real nice meeting some of you people yesterday. Wish more could have showed.
I sure like reminiscing about the good o'days.

Hey Prunepicker, when was that restaurant at 29th & Indiana? That's closer to where I grew up but I don't remember it.

And Generals64, I'm working on the name of that Rootbeer Stand.

These replies are currently on page 50...that's more than any other thread in OKCTALK. Friendships have developed an we even let a S.E. Spartan be the Social Coordinator?...Hey, Rickster I'm trying to find out the name also. Prunepicker, we're coming after you next month...you and Rickster lived across the street from each other on the Southside.....Figure that one out. Soonergirl26 ....where's the number? ................Thanks again guys...Generals64

It was good to finally meet you to rickster!

See you at the next meeting.

While I'm probably not considered a true "Southsider", (I graduated from Tuttle High), I did live on the S. side for a few years, lived on SW. 47th, just east of Penn behind Grant Square shopping center and went to Jackson Jr. High. I enjoy talking about "the good old days" and really enjoy meeting new people. I plan on going to the next lunching and meeting everyone on here

Where was Zorros Taco's?
Its where T&T Chinese Food is now.

Hey danielf1935, as far as I'm concerned you are a southsider.
I also went to Jackson Jr. High.

Its where T&T Chinese Food is now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, right on the head. A young man that worked for me dated the owners of Zorro Tacos' daughter....They did so much business I know he was not supposed to tell. He married the girl if my memory serves me right and they sent him on through College.

Hey Prunepicker, when was that restaurant at 29th & Indiana? That's closer to

It was there in the 50's and 60's. I'm not sure when it closed, maybe in the late
60's. Garland's was a little west of Indiana on the north side of the street.

lol. The Kenny Shoes sign still stands behind T&T's place. Did they tear down the Kennys building, or refurb it into Oreillys? I never went into Kennys.

When I see that old sign it brings back memories of buying shoes at Kinney's. It was the place to buy Ked's....bought our Royal Blue cheerleader shoes there! Also memories of the old Robert Halls store...bought many formal dresses there for proms, banquets and homecoming.

I always thought T&T's had great food....if you didn't look inside when you drove thru to pick your food up. :-)

I also remember when my mom used to get kitchen towels and drinking glasses in our laundry detergent boxes.I won some kind of a picture contest Penny's had in the late 1950s or early 1960s and still have a couple items that I got from the Cub Scout/Boy Scout section of the store.

My little brother knocked over a whole rack of "Indian" drinking glasses they used to give away at the gas station.

My parents collected those glasses, the tray, the pitcher...I still have some of the glasses...Kids in today's world wouldn't recognize them or even care....

The FOP was a steak house. Was that the Black Steer? Seems like they had a Black Angus, down there too. Will ask my 80 yr old bud, he remembers old packing town stuff.

Correct, the FOP bought the building that was once the Black Steer Rest.

Ok remember the garage to the north of that. A friend of mine had it for a while DARREN WARREN, it was his first shop of a few he had back in the day. A fun fact about that old building, back during the cowboy days some train robbers hijacked a train and dug a hole under the building and halfway under agnew and buried the train car, when they got it down there and buried much to there surprise they had gotten the wrong train car...this one was empty!
:doh:

Did you know that there is STILL a Hotel in Packing Town?...Called The Cattlemen's Hotel...East side of the street north of Bently/Gafford.

Earlier there was some mention of glassware in boxes of oats. They brand I
remember is "Wedding Oats". A cup, small glass or saucer was in each box. The
larger boxes may have had larger items but Mom only bought the small box.

Who remembers the towels in boxes of detergent? DUZ comes to mind. One
brand had real Cannon towels.

Deep Rock had those glasses. I saw the complete set a few years ago. They
were beautiful.

Who remembers the Styrofoam footballs that the Champion gas stations gave out
to stick on your antenna?
