    The only business that I remember i.d. was a "coffee shop" owned and ran by a guy whose name was Doyle. At least that was what I think his name to be. Part of it or maybe all is a Latino sports bar. It seems to be doing quite well. During soccer play offs and championship games the place is packed...

    A parking lot is now where the mall was. The super Mercado is in the building that housed a carpet store. I think the place was one of Barton's many business's.

    There were 2 business locations west of Joe's and then the residential area began. South of him was Humpty Dumpty. '64 is talking about the Southside of Commerce in the 400 block.

    When I was growing up the southeast corner of Commerce and Walker had a used car lot (Fred Jones?). Heading east was the carpet store, Cattlemen's mall, a small office, the knob hill theater and on the corner a clothing store. I think it was kind of upscale womens store. I remember it to be Mosher-Adams, but it was a clothing store before that.

    I have some photos of the Hill on Photobucket: http://s664.photobucket.com/home/pap...uploads?page=2

    That was Tony's Italian Specialties! It was great. I took a date there and
    when the waiter brought the bill he said they didn't take credit cards. I was
    rumaging through my car trying to scrape up enough cash to pay.

    The Juke box was fabulous!

    Way out on N.W. 10th or 23rd or somewhere in that direction!! It was far West on the Northside. I thought it was called "The Ranchers Daughter."

    It was just east of Meridian on N.W. 23rd street and on the north side.

    Hey, didn't Beverly's have an item on the menu called the Farmer's Daughter?
    I'm sure it had pancakes!

    I've got an idea!! You have a great big house on a large piece of land!! Why don't YOU throw a big "Whing-Ding" Bar-B-Q with your smoked ribs, brisket, hot links etc. (I kind of like a little cole slaw with mine). Tub's of cold Bud Lite iced down (I prefer the hard stuff myself) and tons of vegetables, liked roasted ears of corn and so forth.. I think you could draw a real large crowd, everyone could have a big time, and we could all stand and stare at all your personal wealth! If I had your money, I'd throw mine away!! What sounds like a good date for this shin-dig now that your obligated to PRODUCE????? Step up to the plate BOY, it's your turn to bat!! P.S. You could even incorporate a small private car show to go along with the eats!!!

    Pulliam's! Oh yeah! Complete with the bubbling sauce in the jugs in the
    window. Why were they bubbling? There wasn't any fire under them? Because
    it was aged to perfection.

    Since you asked....before Mario and Leticia took over ownership and operation of the restaurant at 29 & Central it was known simply as Mino's. Owners lived upstairs. When Mario and Leticia took over there were 2 cooks, Mario ran the cash register and helped prepare the plates, Leticia seated the guests and took orders because she could speak English and the 2 waitresses served the appetizers, kept the drinks filled,and served the food. The flour tortillas were made fresh on site. I think they were one of, if not the first in OKC to serve white flour tortillas. They started out with just a few small tables, later had maybe 10 or 12, made a patio on the east side for summertime and then enclosed it for year round use. Best service of just about any restaurant anywhere. After they lost Cocino de Mino's Mario and Leticia opened Adobe Grill in Moore and now operate it at NW 50 and Shartel. Not too much Tex-Mex on their menu, but really good Mexican food, great service, and welcoming attitude that Leticia has always insisted upon. Her ranchera beans can't be topped.
