My Pi Pizza, owned by David Lieberman and his brother, may of been Phillip Lieberman.

Mark & Tammy's is now Freddies's #1, Fred Hollis has two one there at 9th and Lewis and the other one is on east 11th Street by Mingo. The 11th Street location serves thick Char Burgers in addition to the thin onion fried in grease burger style.  I like both versions.    

Mark and Tammy were in the real estate business with several rent homes last time I saw Mark at the burger joint.

After it was Hank's another owner had it, he built a building near 4th and Lewis and called his other place Margie's I believe that was his wife's name.  Think his name was Walt.  I recall he was robbed and then after that he always was armed with a pistol he wore on his belt.  

Two girls, one was Tony Beam can't remember the others name opened when Margie's closed.  Tony's parents Joe and Tammy Beam own Will Rogers Raceway in Claremore, Oklahoma.  Bill Cox was a regular in there.  The other girl was the chef at could of been Wild Oat or some other place like that after leaving that restaurant.

Anyway, they both had a new age type restaurant where Margie's once was that served whole grain breads, and had a really great menu for lunch and dinner.  They made some really good red beans and rice.  That building is no longer there, it was replaced by the new home division along Lewis.  

Tony Beam raced against Jeff Gordon when they were both kids in quarter midgets.  I believe she defeated him in a race or two as the story goes, have to ask her grandma that runs the beer shack at Will Rogers about the outcomes of those races.

Actually Toni is Joe's sister.  She's even older than me so I don't think it was her that raced against Jeff.  I remember when she opened that place.  

I've raced against Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader though it still doesn't get any beers bought for me though.

I liked a place near Admiral and Sheridan called Don's Restaurant-is that still there?

Last time I drove past Skate World at 21st and Garnett it was something totally different.  

Tulsa sure has changed since these days.

From Tulsa TV Memories
Check out the prices ....
MENU BISHOPS RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN TULSA
Had the Cow on the Sign.


BISHOPS DRIVE-IN

"Bishop's Drive-In on the southwest corner of 10th and Boston in 1937. Gas rationing during WW II led to the closing of the drive-in. The building then became the Downtown Station Depot, transporting workers to aviation manufacturing plants (Spartan, Douglas). The building later became Capps Restaurant in the 1960s."



"Night view of 6th and Main. Looking northeast from atop Public Service Building toward the southwest corner of 6th and Main. Store signs include: Jenkins Music, Vandever's, Boswell's Jewelry, Skaggs, Brown-Dunkin, Clarkes, Peacock Jewelers, Bishop's, and the Mayo Hotel."

Don's burned down, became Ted & Carol's or something like that, I believe.  Last time I was there it was called The Sheridan Cafe.  

They serve specials, burgers, breakfast.

Anyone remember the name of the restaurant at was on the SE corner of 15th and Yale?

Duffy's?

[AMP]

I tnink Duffy's is at 15th and Lewis

This one was on the se corner of
15th & Yale, across from Driller Stadium.  Appears there is some kind of medical office there now.  Used to have to stand in line they serverd breakfast, lunch and dinner.  

Another good one that was long in Tulsa was
McClullums sp, next to Oklahoma Fixture on 11th Street West of Sheridan.

What was the name of the restaurant in that unusual building just south of 15th on the east side of Sheridan?  It is a vaccum cleaner place now I believe.  Sits out in front of the Ron's Hamburger location near there, only to the North of it.

Impressions was at 15th & Lewis.  Albertson's got the city to condemn it under Eminent Domain so they could build the store they just recently abandoned (so much for long-term 'vision').  

SE corner of 15th & Yale is Lowes, before that it was a leather supply shop, doctor's office, storage and something else I cant recall.

Diffy's is 11th and Yale.

Yes, there were several around Tulsa.  One was upstairs at Admiral and Sheridan and had rooftop parking on that building.  It is now a Bingo Parlor.

Anyone remember the sandwich place on Memorial around I belive at 18th street.  Unusual shaped building that sits on the east side of Memorial, up on a hill.  Think they had a Roast Beef Sandwich.
