These are such GREAT photos & memories Richard, thx for putting them all in one video!! I don't know what kind of anti-Okie pinko-commies voted that other song into being Oklahoma's Official State Song, but Home Sweet Oklahoma by our beloved Leon is & will forever be the Most POPULAR Unofficial Oklahoma Anthem & State Song....forever. ;o)
There's a treasure trove of Tulsa pictures that go way back as part of the Beryl Ford collection. Just look up Beryl Ford Collection and there will be tons of Tulsa. "way back when" photos.
I love this! I forgot about Lee and Lionel..I think I was in the audience once but maybe it was big Bill and Omagog on ch 2. Still in TTown after lots of travels ..I always come home 🐾
I took a photo of 51st and South Lewis in about 1956 (I was going to "Sunnyside" Children's Medical Center for speech therapy). I used my older sister's Brownie "Starmite" 127 roll film camera. In 1955-58, Tulsa ended at 51st and South Lewis. I-44 was under construction and Key Elementary school was on the East side of Lewis and "Sunnyside" on the West, and two inches across the new bridge over I-44 was "Fikes (Parkhill's) IGA Supermarket" ! Then, you were headed to Jenks, via "the River Road" (now Riverside Drive) south of 71st and Lewis as Lewis "jogged" west for the farm at 81st and Lewis-with the lovely HUGE pink house at 45* to the road, where Wally-World is now. Remember "Sipe's Food Barn" and Nelson's Buffeteria at 5th and Boston? What about Sidenbach's, Orbach's, Renburg's, Clarke's Good Clothes, and Vandever's downtown?
I remember how going from my home in the Mayo Meadow neighborhood to 71st and Sheridan to play an elementary school baseball game seemed like such a long journey out to the middle of nowhere.
Hey, what was the REAL name of the riding stables/liquor-by-the-wink bar/Country Club at 11th and Mingo on the Southeast corner (on Route 66) before you got to KVOO 1170's antenna farm? Yeah, I'm that old...
I love Tulsa. My Hometown. My birthplace. I will be buried here

The Beryl Ford Collection can be accessed through the Tulsa City-County library online. Sorry I wasn't clearer about it.
