Spencers BBQ in Midwest City. Closes the 31st of this year, good BBQ run and owned by a Vietnam grunt Vet. It was a little pricey but it was good stuff. Now where am I gonna go for good BBQ?

Smokin' Joe's is supposed to be opening a store in Noble.

A&W Root beer stands. The Hamburgers were good and a frosted mud of Root beer was just awesome!

In high school I was a valet at Zigfields at 71st and Sheridan. Fun job, got to drive a lot of cool cars.

How about GEX department store, or Howard Johnson's.

I don't know if they had any of them out here in mid-America, but anyone heard of the now defunct "GEMCO" department stores which were popular in the '60's-'70's? I think they were called "MEMCO" in the Northeast.

This place used to be so great. I last went there about a year and a half ago and almost walked out, so this isn’t shocking unfortunately.
There wasn’t a person older than 18 that worked there. They were all playing tag, blaring loud music and dancing instead of helping anyone out. I’m all for a good time, but it was like a high school assembly behind the counter instead of a restaurant. This on a Saturday at lunch time. The food was still good, but our sides weren’t correct and we didn’t get any fritters since nobody came around to serve them, even after asking for them we still didn’t. Sticky tables, most piled with old dishes.. all a far cry from yesteryear.

Too bad. I’m sure they’ll blame it on the pandemic.

Texlahoma is pretty good, but less old school like Spencer’s.

I forgot about Ziegfield's. I saw Jana Jae, Buck Trent and Ray Price there.

All pretty forgettable.
