When I was at OSU, I went to Coney on the strip once or twice a week. (or at least it seemed that way) When we moved back into Tulsa about three years ago, I was really excited to take my son to the Coney on Peoria. I had built it up pretty solid to him, and we both went in ready to do some damage to some Coneys. And it was terrible. I don't know if nostalgia got the better of me or what, but I've never been back.
That is how it has been since at least the early 60's, when I first started going there. Still, I do have to go back from time to time... it is compelling. Like In-N-Out and White Castle....
I view it as a "soul cleansing" experience!
Or something....
