    Wasn't that McHenry's? He owned McHenry's restaurant and the 950 lounge. Remember one time he got drunk and ran over to the restaurant from the 950 in the nude!! Quite amusing... Mr. McHenry was quite a character to say the least!! It did turn into a Chinese Restaurant in later years..

    Also, I went to library, the bowling alley I was thinking of downtown was Jenks at 413 1/2 NW 3rd (Dean McGee) so I was a bit off on the area.

    I was at OU from 68-74, loved bowling at the Sooner Lanes on Campus Corner. The lanes were so warped it really didn't matter how well you could bowl, the ball wasn't going to go straight anyway.

    On the North side we had the terrific Highlander for a while, that was a palace. Since this is a restaurant thread, there was an Across the Street just west of the Highlander. The original Across the Street was, of course, on Campus Corner, and, in grad school I worked at the Crossroads in the OU Student Union, a copycat of Across the Street.

    There was another restaurant with phones, Red Lion or something like that, at NW 23rd & Western and in a mall, was it Crossroads? The place at NW 23rd & Western was a Carnation Ice Cream Land in my earliest memory, when they were building the golden dome Bank.
    I think that was "The Lion's Share" and they did have one in Crossroads Mall!

    It was my understanding that Jack (the Dad) had to do a little stretch in the "Big House" because of that room in the back!! I remember when he got out!

    I am kinda dumb about "stuff" that went on in the 50's but, knew alot of "stuff" that went on in the 60's and 70's. I useta eat at "Jack's" for breakfast in the 80's. ( I remember that they didn't have "Tobasco sauce" -only" "Lousiana hot sauce". I told my Dad that it just wasn't "right".) (nothing against any brand of "hot sauce" because I use different hot sauces for different foods). Anybody remember the Devils Den about next door?

    What was the name of the restaurant just south of Northwest Expressway
    and east of N. Portland? Candlewood's? They served family style.

    I'm not talking about Christopher's. It was down by Will Rogers Park.

    I spent....beep....many a night....beep....talking on the....beep....beep-beep line in the early....beep....70s.

    Met some nice people on it.

    It was sort of a cross between a party line and a CB radio.

    I just can't believe Truelove's is closed. That's an OKC institution. It also had many customers that were sent to Oklahoma Institutions....
