Casa Bonita

[OKRuss]

TG&Y Turtles Girdles & Yo-Yo's.
Spent most of my allowance there and at Gibson's buying fishing tackle in my younger day's.
Also spent many Saturday evenings gorging on TexMex at all the afore mentioned resturants.

Never heard turtles, girdles & yo-yo's. We always called it Toys, Games and Yo-Yo's.

Yup. I bought my very first 8 track tape, KISS: Destroyer at TG&Y. That's right, I said 8 track tape. Remember how you bought em? They had this big display case with a plexiglass covering that had holes in the plexiglass strategically located so you could put your hand in, grab a tape, read what songs were on it, but that hole was just small enough, the tape could not go thru. I saved up all summer long in 1977 just to buy that tape. The 8 track is long gone, but I do have it on CD. Love that album. Brings back memories.

I still have this two volume set around here somewhere.

In 1984 I bought my first pistol at the Gibson's in Stillwater.

I bought my first rifle at Gibson's in 1976 here in Shawnee.

Never learned any of those phrases for TG&Y. Our town was too small to have one. In fact, I don't ever remember any store in town that sold such a variety of products.

That was my next album purchase, but I bought it on vinyl, because the 2 record set had tons of goodies with it.

Went Casa Bonita and Chrystals many times as a kid. I preferred Chrystals. Casa reopened in early 2000s and we took a group of high school kids there. They thought it was great. Me, not so much.
