What old business do you remember in OKC?

[FRISKY]

Home of the $59.95 wish you hadn't got it paint job.

The trick was to do all the body work and taping yourself and only let them shoot the paint.

Have you ever seen me do body work and tape? Besides, those bozo's didn't
know green from red.

I think they had only 3 colors. Krylon red, green and yellow. Of course
they'd use whatever TG&Y had on sale at the time, too... Right Gen64? I'll
bet you sold many cans of spray paint to Sheib...

[SoonerQueen]

Do you remember a Mr. LeGrange that worked for "Sheen's?"

What was his first name?

[Prunepicker]

What was his first name?

Did he have a son named Eddie?

Don't forget TG&Y or the Capitol Hill Ice Cream shop.

What was originally at SW 25th and Hudson? You all know, where the hot
dog cafe, and the home of the very first Southside get together?

I remember a slot car track around '67.

Jandebar's? Or was that NW 10th? Reave's?

[Prunepicker]

There was an optical shop on the south side of SW 29th just east of S. May.
It was Munday-Price Optical. I think they started around 1973.

Does anybody remember that place?
Does anybody know what business was there before them?

You're right. I managed to get the check endorsement stamp. It was laying

Is Coney Island on Harvey or Hudson? At any rate, there was a slot car
track where they are now. What was the name of it?

[bluedogok]

The SHEEN DRUG Company (My aunt and Uncle owned it)

Growing up we went to the 16th & Portland location. I went to high school and worked at Skaggs with the pharmacists son (Greg Smith IIRC).

MacArthur Park Raceway

You mean this MacArthur Park Raceway? It has been reopened.

Jandebeur's Honda-Kawasaki was on SW 29th, the House of Kawasaki out at NW 10th & Council is the only one that I knew of on 10th. Our neighborhood bought most of our motorcycles out there and when we started riding we rode on the land on the SW corner of 10th & Council before the subdivision went in out there. We also rode at the north end of Overholser in what is now Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge.

Arrowhead Rock was still alive about a week ago but has a severe case of Alzheimer's.

There was a motorcycle shop between N. May and N. Villa on the north side
of the street. It may have been another Jandebeur's.

There was some major 1% biker activity around there in the 60's and 70's.

On NW 10th between May & Villa? About what years? There may have been an independent shop there or maybe a Harley shop. The H-D shop that I remember was Parr's at Melrose & Rockwell during the AMF/H-D years. I also grew up going into the European dealer on MacArthur where Fred Baker Firearms is. I grew up on Kawasaki's but always wanted a Euro bike, well, I have a Triumph now.

From 62 through the early 70's. I can't provide the exact dates.

[Generals64]

Hey, don't forget Cycle world on 58th and S. Shields...Owned by Al Levine for some time... Kawasaki was his bike of choice. also, they were new in the market.....

[bluedogok]

From 62 through the early 70's. I can't provide the exact dates.

Well, that was a bit before my time, my first motorcycle was at age 9, that was 1973.
