Pearsons new message is that no one goes to hell. If thats the case, then why is there hell? (but thats a whole different thread.) He has been labeled a heretic. I'm not sure if Carmen went there. I believe he had a home in Glenpool.
Willie George pastors Church on the Move. Never been there. Not sure of the denomination, charismatic I think.

That's a good question.  I guess you have to go to Heaven to find out.

Wow... that "new message" needs to be censored because it is a total lie.  I wonder how he got so "off" with his message?  Anyway, yeah, now that I think back, Carmen did attend his church because a friend of mine went there every Sunday back in the late 80's trying to get his attention to date her.  From what I remember, that church had more single women that you could count.

Willie George... I remember him from the 80's.  He had a hugh children's ministry with a western theme and puppets.

The reality is: Romans 10:9,10, because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
 For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.

Yes, George's western town is called Dry Gulch USA. They have the Christmas Train every year. I visited COTM a few times. A little large for my taste and I never got to meet that many people. (that sounds strange). Anyway, some famous singer from 4Him is the worship leader. He's very good.

My memories from the 80s mainly revolve around Buttons Records & Tapes. I worked there from 87 to 91. I had a sweet mini-truck mullet. :-)  I blame that country singer billy ray cyrus for ruining it for all of us.

Buttons was owned by Sound Warehouse. However, the Sounded Warehouses in Tulsa were not owned by the same company - they were locally owned.

Linda Soundtrack anyone?

How about Peaches at 51st and Sheridan or Greers at 11th and Rockford. Starship recently moved on to 15th street, I think, since TU gobbled up all the land near them on 11th street.

Peaches is where Buttons was (see post above). This became Blockbuster Music in the early 1990s.

Starship is now on Lewis in an ugly steel building just North of the BA.

Linda Soundtrak is alive and well in Birmingham, AL. She noted that the stage names of her sons were Sluggo I and Sluggo II (real names David and Richard, like the Nelsons, ages 27 and 23). She recently did an animated ad with singing jingle for an attorney.

Hi!  Ilived in Tulsa 1977-2006
Camelot has either been torn down this year or they are just about to. It sat there like an eyesore for years. I enjoyed Black Eye Pea and it's not in existance.  Yes, Woodland still thrives. []The Falls are okay apartments. Flame is still on top of the Prayer Tower, No Sipes on Lewis, still dollar theatres, don't know about Rhema owning an ice skating rink, more and more Quick Trips - which I miss, Miss Jackson's is still there and I'veonly walked in there one time

I have fond memories of Southland. Back to school shopping at Frougs, Clarks Good Clothes, Pennys, Walgreens with the coffee shop, etc. Open air in the middle with the sidewalk sales in late summer. What a great mall. Southroads had Woolco and Spencers with Looboyles on the lower level. Of course, all thats gone now.
Ok, I'm collected and back to reality now.

What was cool about Southroads, while not as large as Woodland Hills, was that you could pretty much get whatever you were looking for and leave. It was also cool to walk around and hang out there-though, like the Kensington, it wasn't that uncommon to sometimes find yourself as among the very few people shopping there (more people working there than shopping there).

But ya know, I still remmeber it well, the Looboyle's, the video arcade, that Backyard Burgers deep inside the lower level; I remember the Picadilly Cafeteria and the Boot Hill cowboy boot store. I remember the tobacco shop, and Vandevers and Woolco. I even remember walking next door, past the movie theatre, over to a place called Pee Wee's Hamburgers and Chili.

On those occasions that I return to the Tulsa area, I'd noticed that they not only tore down Southroads, but also the areas next to it, and even the Annex Mall! Sometimes, progress is not always a good thing!

[mrskns]

I remember that Annex Mall... I had forgotten about it.  It was two-story, right?  Is there still a Target at 71st and Memorial?  I shopped there a lot in the 80's and at a clothing store called Tempo right next door.  We once ate in a restaurant called Peppi's Villa Capril.  Seems like it was on a high hill somewhere around 61st and Sheridan.

[Wingnut]

Shadow Mountain Inn was on top of the hill at 61st & Sheridan. It has the best view in Tulsa.
The Annex had a 3 screen movie theater and Townsen (sp) Top Shop that sold t-shirts and a Swinsons Ice Cream parlor. There was also a Coney Islander at the end of it. It's still there in the South east corner of the new mall area. I seem to remember a Diamond Jacks food place over there somewhere. They're on 51st now.

Diamond Jacks was in the building that was next to Southroads Cinema. At one time that building had facing south, Diamond Jacks, Girl Scoult Council office, an eye physcian and glasses store and Team Electronics, Coney Ilander was on the norht side facing the theater. Another store in the Annex was Oshmans Sporting Goods and Altair Computers. Before it was the Annex Mall, that was the location of Courtesy Volkswagen until they moved to the Memorial Drive location across from what was Conine Schwab Porche Audi.

There was also a small restaurant in the parking lot near the southwest mall entrance called the Pancake Place that later became Barristers if I remember correctly. I always thought it was kind of a neat little place to eat.

Who was that other doofus that sold audio stuff that called himself Doc Rock or something like that. He work sunglasses and a lab coat and was always swinging his arms around. It was always late at night during the movies and such.
Anyone remember??
