It's almost gone

[Jerk]

I remember it as a land-mark on my way to Grand Lake from OKC as a kid. I didn't realize that Elvis and Nixon had stayed there until they began to tear it down.

[Jerk]

I'd tell you, but I'm so drunk I can't remember. Some castle hotel in Tulsa. Camelot?

[SoonerInKCMO]

Oh yeah - I saw that as I was coming home after Christmas. Quite sad indeed that the Camelot is going away.

Every time I go see a double-feature at the Admiral Twin, I'm afraid I'll have to rumble with the Socs if I go to the snack bar. :D

I nevar visited the Camelot as it was closed before my time I think... if not before I'd have any memory of it, but that area of town definitely isn't the same without that old ghost.

You gotta love Linda Soundtrack!

I used to shop at Spectrum next door for vintage Hawaiian shirts to wear to the Joyce Martel shows at The Brook!

[bluedogok]

Linda Soundtrack was of the Soundtrack electronics stores, nothing to do with Sound Warehouse. Buttons was the Sound Warehouse electronics stores.

[bri]

I used to live in an apartment building behind the last of the Sound Warehouses. I saw Newschannel 8 chief meterologist Frank Mitchell accosted by a homeless guy one day when he was trying to go buy him some tunez. :D

Is that where you bought your satin pants and platform shoes?

[TUSooner]

They stayed in a tree? Together?
Wow, who knew?

[bri]

It's a little known fact that at once time, Tulsa's Ewok Village 3000 was America's most renowned hotel and resort. ;)

Tearing down that old eyesore is probably the best thing Tulsa has done in over a decade.

Oh and OKC > Tulsa

Yeah, I still can't drive down 21st between Harvard and Yale without getting angry. :mad:

[Okla-homey]

Yeah, I still can't drive down 21st between Harvard and Yale without getting angry. :mad:

But we have the ginormous glass toilet-paper roll sitting on its side to look forward to. Just think, very soon now, the sweet sounds of "My Heart Will Go On" will be trilling among the rafters.

I have a question though, why did the BOk arena/coliseum/objectd'art precede river development? Always seemed to me they got that backwards.

[1stTimeCaller]

You guys could always drive to OKC and ride the rollercoasters at Frontier City.

I haven't been to an amusement park in OKC since they closed Springlake. Springlake was the bomb.
