Are you going to go out to sooner-midwest blvd-douglas? I'm researching that area in the SPencer Jones area--36th to 10th or so--and would love to see this area from 1969.
FYI: Another research project I've got going--a history paper on a local business-- shows the operation in its prime. It didn't really give me anything new, but it did give me a visual image which supports my research. That's totally cool!
THis archive is a real gem Pete! Thanks for sharing it.
Yes, I hope to eventually fill in all the way to Douglass and south to Norman.
I have posted a link to the photos to the Del City history facebook page and have posted on the Midwest City History and Memories facebook page a heads up for upcoming photos of Midwest City.
Looking for additions of Reno/sooner and s.e. 29th/Choctaw rd?
Pete,
Have you thought about trying to get this stuff into google earth's historic imagery or anything? It seems like it would be a nice addition and would make it easier to view. Right now their historic OKC imagery only goes back to 1990.
Amazing! I found my old house on SW 81st Street. I was only 5 years old in 1969. Thanks for posting!
What an awesome project! I have been "time traveling" all over the City - I think I saw myself back at Linwood looking up ;)
Being from Moore I can't wait until you get down that far!Quote:

Never mind. I did a little digging and it turns out that the Drive-In Theater was the North Penn Twin and was in business from about 1963 to 1973. Sort of an interesting story about it involving a lawsuit regarding the smell of sewage interfering with business. The smell of sewage prevailed.
What do you use to get the imagery, Historic Areals?
