What do you remember?

Has anyone been to Rocky Point near Inola before? Last time I was out there it was 93-94, It was on the Verdigris river and had picnic areas etc, and rocks where we would jump into the river, about 30 feet above the river.There were also caves in the face of the rock where you could climb around. I tried to find a few days ago and there are gates and no trspassing signs I wonder why Inola or Rogers County closed the access to the river.

Probably closed for safety reasons.

I am impressed by how far some people go-Rocky Point was one of those places where you would go and says "hey this area is not bad" or "The Tulsa area is beautiful" Im sure the Illinois River would not close there access to the water. Come it is not like there is a ton of things to do in Tulsa, Why make this place as "plain" as possible? I guess they dont call it "the plains" for nothing

Does anyone remember the movie theatre they used to have at Bells?  It sat on top of the concession stand, and I think it was called "Cinema 180."

It was a kind of a prelude to the Imax type theatre we have today.

It was really cool back then. Everyone stood up and it felt like you were actually on the roller coaster. I remember people falling down all the time.

Does anyone remember the Capri Drive-in? It showed porn movies and had this really high fence going around it. I remember as kids we would try to get a glimpse of it as we were driving down the freeway that ran right next to it. I think it was on the west side.

The Carnival restaurant in Utica Square, where Stonehorse is currently located.  You ordered food via phones that were at each table.  They had a dessert (the Bigtop?) that was popular.

We used to hide in the bushes at chandler park with binoculars and watched the movies from there.  it was the only way this 10 year old could see it.

There was a restaurant called Ma Bell's I think out on Lewis and 51st? that was the same way. You ordered via phone at the table, and you could call other tables too.

I think it was on Yale, near LaFortune park.  My parents use to play soft ball at Lafortune, then we went over there after.  Nothing can annoy waitresses more than a bunch of kids calling on an old fashioned phone.

I can't think of the name, but there was a restaurant downtown where you used a phone in the booth to place an order.  As I remember, it had two floors and they used a dumb waiter to transport the food upstairs.

HA! I remember the little airplane things they had on top of the concession stand before the movie dome!

They were really cool- just swing you around in a circle but they had big rudders you could sorta' steer them with. It was like our own little version of 12 o'clock High.
