This isn't about this post, but i was driving by the old movie theatre uhm..gaw what was it.

Not the drive in but the one next to Goodwill that was converted into a Porsche shop.

Well anyways i was driving past it Saturday night and people were working on the sign and it said VILLAGE THEATRE on it!

I was so darn excited. On my way back the next day i saw the say and it say Pancha Anya or something.

Apparently they had peeled down to the orginal signage!

I just thought that was exciting considering i never got to see it in its prime.

Well anyways.

haha

Keep up the great site man.

You have fans out in cyberworld! Thanks for your efforts. I really hope you have time to get some pictures of Bell's Amusement Park as it's dismantled. It hurts my soul to think that it's going away, but I'd like to get some last glimpses of it before it's gone.

COME ON TOM

MORE UPDATES MAN!
 

Update my friend!
 

I remember this drug store very well. A family friend used to work there. I grew up in north Tulsa in the 60s. I remember the Tastee Freeze across 46th, a little bit east. I have fond memories of walking down 46th from Cheyenne looking for pop bottles to cash in at the U-Totem or Git-N-Go on Cincinnati
 

Too cool! I got to sell tickets and popcorn at the Village! I was in Heaven with all those free movies! Thanks for this great site! East Central 1977 Alum.
 

I grew up in the Rosehill addition at Independence and Harvard. There was a T Roy Barnes drugstore close to Admiral and Harvard. What I remember most is that my mom would order a prescription and they would DELIVER it to our house. She was always glad to not have to take us kids out when we were sick to the drug store and instead they were so customer oriented and brought the needed medicine to your home-WOW! what a concept now. But when I did go there with my Mom to get a prescription I always remember the big glass case that had various toys made of hard rubber-such as dolls, cows, dogs, cats, etc. I think they were made by Sun rubber perhaps. I don't remember ever getting one, but do remember one day when my Aunt came over with my cousin and they had stopped there to get a prescription-and she had bought my cousin one of the toy animals-I was SO jealous! But now I have a collection of them I bought on Ebay and they are displayed in my Granddaughters guest nursery!
Anyway they tore down that old pharmacy a few years back, and I had to sell my parents house in that area about 6 years ago. I took over care of my parents then-my Mother had to go to a nursing home because of physical problems and passed away last summer. My Dad has Alzheimers and still resides with us in an apartment that is attached to our home. I still think of T Roy Barnes occasionally when I get so FED UP with the chain pharmacies where they no longer know you by name and they would NEVER think of the delivery option!
