Title: The Original Zingo Post by: dbacksfan 2.0 on May 14, 2016, 02:44:20 am In a chain of events of looking for things of Tulsa long gone for my father who is slipping into alzheimer's, I was looking through Bates web site of aerial photos for a golf course at 51st and Lewis that the club house was where Goldie's is now, and the Cherokee airport at 61st and Yale, I found myself trying to find a friends house that he lived in that was south east of Edison and Gilcrease, near Easton & Union in the Owen Park area. While looking I came across Irving School, and in looking for info about that I found this website
http://www.tulsagal.net/ (http://www.tulsagal.net/) and while looking through that site I found that the original Zingo was at the Crystal City Amusement Park. Never knew that was the origin of it.

You piqued a memory that is just about faded away.
