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.
