LOL Thank you for the memories of Judy B........[}:)]

Back in the early 70's while sewing my oats, that place took a huge hunk out of my pay check. As "My Other Place" and "Temperature Rising".

I use to live next to a guy that was a disc jockey for KELI during those days, his name was Mark Dempsey. He use to get me tickets back stage to all of the concerts. What pleasant memories though's were.....Humble Pie, Kiss, Black Oak Arkansas and the list goes on.

My greatest memories of that time was a place called the Nine Of Cups. I only lived a block away from there and use to tell people that my neighbors were Jim Jones and Leon Russel. ( Well, thy did live within blocks of me LOL)
Bonnie Raitt showed up there after one of her concerts and that had to be one of the wildest evenings in my life I have ever seen.[8D]

I remember the Nine of Cups well.  My senior prom, we tried to get served there.  It didn't work.  Everyone knew (even us younger kids) that it was the place to be.  When did it close?

I noticed 2 other bars in your site that brought back good and bad memories.

Wiskers was a bar that attracked the purest of scum. nuff said.....

Reflections was awesome but not near as good as the bar it was, before Stan Frezby (ms) moved it. The orginal bar was called Tennesse Gin and Cotton. Stan always had away of keeping Tulsa up with the times of the east and west coast.

One night late into the evening at TGC, I saw Stan walking around talking to all of his employees. He had chartered a jet and was taking his employees to New Orleans that morning for breakfast.......what a class act Boss![8D]

I was born and raised in Tulsa and grew up in the seventies.  I remember taking day long trips downtown with my mom, brothers and friends in the summer to explore such wonderous places as the NBT building, to have lunch at Skaggs and afterwards watch their donut machine make donuts, and going to the Will Rogers theatre.  Back then, the admission price allowed you to watch a movie as many times as you liked during the time you were there.....you didn't have to leave after the movie ended like most theatres make you do now.

I no longer live there but I sure do miss it.

This is truly amazing.  You folks have made some really great posts, and have caused me to remember all that I have forgotten.  What a great ride this has been!

I remember the Cadillac Building.

I remember the Skelly, and the Tulsa Auto Hotel, and the Denver Grill, and....

I remember Woodland Hills Mall being in the middle of nowhere and Southroads mall having a picadilly's.

OTASCO. What a store. I got my first 10 speed bike there. I think it was $49.00. It was a small 24 inch, and bright orange.  It got stolen, as things often did in my neck of the woods.

I also got my first lawn mower at OTASCO. My dad bought it for $69.00 and told me that I would have to pay him back by the end of the summer.  Well, was he surprised when I paid him back after 2 weeks.  My younger brother and I went door to door and basically begged people to mow their lawns, $1.00 here $3.00 there. I bet we walked 250 miles that summer.

We used to walk to TG&Y at 3rd and Utica, next to the Safeway and get the KELI or KAKC top 40 lists, and then decide which 45 we could afford to buy.  Then we would go home and play them over and over and over and over....I later worked at that TG&Y as a stockboy and assistant manager.

I remember makin' out in the back of my old 72 Nova SS at the Admrial Twin. And standing in line at the concessions, when they had REAL concessions.

Well, the Tulsa Auto Hotel is still there, for now anyway.

There is one fast food restaraunt I recall.  It was on 11th street just west of Lewis as best I can remember.  It was in the shape of a Stagecoach.  Does anyone remember what it was called?

I REMEMBER SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!

How 'bout going to the downtown bus station (either one of them), or going to the airport, and sitting in a big chair while watching a coin-operated televion set?  (It was quite expensive, really, considering all that you could get was a fuzzy picture.  But I still thought it was pretty cool.)

Would it be the Chuckwagon? (I'm reaching)
