Hi monkey friends and friends of Tulsa.  Here is a link you may not have seen.  It's about older Tulsa stuff.  Interesting but to me, a bit sad.

That was neat, but sad, thank you.  When I was little, my uncle owned one of the old theaters down town.  We used to get dropped off there, but we had to stay all day until he got off work.  It had a balcony and a downstairs.  We had to choose where we were going to sit and stay there.  No running around.  We were allowed two things from the concession stand.  It was a wonderful place.  All burgandy curtains.  When you sat down, and the lights went down, the burgendy curtains would part, then the see thru ones, then the cartoon would start... When the Christmas prarade came to town, my cousins and I would go to the windows and watch it go by.  My Grandfather owned the drivein movie in Broken Arrow.  It was just grass, bumps and speakers, but it had a playground with a train.  We would go there in my dad's convertible.  He would park backwards.  Then we would all run to the playground and play til the movie started.  Of course that was when my family could see.  Ah good times.........

My dad owned a car lot on 11th street.  If I told you the name of it you would recognize it.  It had a pole with a car that went around top.  Bare yellow lightbulbs lit up the car lot at night.  And plastic banners blew in the wind.  When he had a sale, he would put balloons up too.  I like to go there because he had a pop machine and a gum ball machine.   The only thing I hated was when I was a Brownie, Dad would make me practice by selling Girl Scout Cookies to all of the people buying cars.  He would say now step right up.  Show them the cookies, tell them how good they are-  I would just die.  The best  thing was, he would always drive home a brand new car, so we never knew what we were getting.  One time he brought home a brand new herse.  That was fun to play in.  One time he brought home a car hauler, we played like that was a jungle jim!!!!

Thank you blurrymonkey.  I'm a friend of a friend of Tulsa.  My friend Julie and her family moved from OK about 12 years ago  and I know she misses OK.  I'll be sure to share the link you have brought here, with her.  I'm not that familiar with Tulsa, but found this link very, very interesting.

Good Evening, Monkeys,

Just wanted to share a photo of one of my pups in his new home.  They named him Baxter.  He seems to like it pretty well there.

John Travolta's Son Dies
Posted Jan 2nd 2009 3:10PM by TMZ Staff

Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas tells TMZ the son of John Travolta died today.

We're told 16-year-old Jett was vacationing with Travolta and wife Kelly Preston. We do not know the circumstances of his death.

There have been reports that Jett was autistic, though Travolta has denied it, saying he suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.

Very sad..I was bored today and was looking thru all the info on Jett's passing and I noticed a TON of speculation that he was autistic, then I found a video of him with his family in Paris a couple of weeks ago and I'm not one that like to speculate, but .......well, I'll find the link and let others judge whether or not it's true. I just found it odd that they had to lead him bu hand to the car and buckle him in, and that they kept a baby monitor in his room. Then I read in old archives that Kelly P had another son with her previous hubby Kevin Gage, and on two of the sites archived it does indeed state that they had a son, and neigbors in HI have stated that he was severly disabled I just pray that if he did indeed have autism and seizures that he was allowed the proper medication especially for the seizures~but Scientology doesn't recognize autism, so it just seems so sad that maybe his death was preventable. My heart aches for their loss as I know you would have to put me away if I had to bury my child

Hi Muffy and A1.  I hadn't replied because I was battling the worst ISP in the world (lost service twice today) and extreme tiredness due to a cold. 

A1, your memories are great.  Thanks for sharing them.  I may know where that car lot is/was on 11th, as I lived along there on the TU campus.  I lived in Tulsa for 6 years while in college & grad school, but since have been living back in my home state.  I want to visit again this spring and drag along my brother-in-law who's never been there.  I miss the redbuds around Easter.

Oh, I also wanted to say I found that site looking for info on Mohawk Music.  I loved that store and blew tons of money on imports.  I wanted to buy a t-shirt (and I'm not so much of a t-shirt kinda gal), and I was sorry to see they had gone out of business.
