Penningtons is back - sort of

[Conan71]

Blasphemy!!

It was good for its time and considering it was a drive in. But the real treat at 'Tons was the huge jumbo shrimp platter with fries, THEN the black bottom pie. Later cruise through Webers and slog down a freezie.

Can't argue with the jumbo shrimp.  There should be a shrine somewhere...

If you've not tried it at Bros. Houligan, they do a great fried shrimp.  Most unusual shrimp breading I've tried.

Keep saying I'm going there, but every time I drive past and see the crowd, it dissuades me.

On 15th or 61st & Mingo.

They do quick table turns.  I've never waited more than 5 mins to get seated either.  I've only eaten at the mid-town location so not sure how big the crowds are out south.

There's nothing notable going on "out south" so the crowds must be a fig newton of Hoss's imagination.

[guido911]

You gotta get out more....

I guess so. I rarely get further south than 120th, and that's usually for the occasion run at Irving Park.

I'm mostly between 121st and 71st.  This year the garden varmints have caused me to make multiple trips south of the river to get replacement pepper plants.

Wow, I guess I'm a more dedicated southie. On occasion, I go two weeks or more without EVER going north of 131st.

I would have a difficult time doing that as I live between 111th and 121st east of Memorial.

Yeah, I know. Perhaps you could move to reaffirm your dedication.

Nah, I like it up on the hill above the flood plain.  If if floods here due to the Arkansas River, you will be completely submerged.  Do you own a boat?  Keep it nearby if you do?

We've for a Sea-Doo. 

I've never worried about flooding, espescially not now since we're preparing to move......most likely further south.

I went canoeing on a few sod farms in the Oct. '86 flood.  That was a wild view from about 131st or so looking south. (unless it's 121st which is north of the river)

How about a little help from this out-of-stater red. Am I f'd where I live if a flood happens?

Holy cats.  Your family eats sand?

There is actually real food south of the Arkansas River in Bixby.  I've seen it.  Carmichael's and Conrad's have produce.  I saw a grocery store in the shopping paradise on the NW corner of 151st & Memorial.
