I worked in a business downtown where there was occasional contact with some of the ladies - all extremely NON physical. Some were nice girls, they just had a different career path than would be considered mainstream. Very close - like next door - was Logan's Concessions where you could get really good theater popcorn and fountain drinks - best mix in town, then or now or any time in between!!

The building is gone - it is a parking lot now. That one little building at east of parking used to be part of it IIRC. http://tulsatvmemories.com/mayrooms.html Title: Re: The May Rooms Building - 1st and Elgin Post by: davideinstein on April 08, 2016, 04:02:42 pm So what you are saying is that some of the young professionals back in the day used to rub in the right way?
