Is Orins Pizza still in business??
Seemed like I ordered 1 every night.

Orins was freaking great piza, but I think he's been gone for years, now....

The High Horse Saloon is long gone.

The ice box beer barns west of the towers in that small strip mall (which may be gone, too) are long gone.

Wilson Center and it's 24/7 gym is long gone.

and the new Oconnell's can't be anything like it was back in the day when is was across from the jock dorms.

some of the things I saw in there......

 

[outofyourmind]

I doubt the Jockey Strap Saloon is still there. Down on Campus Corner by the old Boomer Theater.
Looking back, it really was a disgusting dirty place. Had a lot of good times in it though.


Wonder what's there now??

Anyone remember Mt. Williams? The old Navy Ammo Backstop on the east side of I-35.

 

[Wheat]

oh ya, the target backstop.....did not know or remember it had a name, tho.

Yeah, I didn't either until I was trying to find a picture of it to post.

we played intramural basketball out on the base/airfield north of town where the mound was, when I was in school in Norman. don't remember much about it, but seems we were playing in a hangar type facility?

pretty sketchy, at best.

Probably where Max Westheimer airport is now. There's a cafe in the airport that serves a killer breakfast.

How many of you remember the Town Tavern on Campus Corner?

ya, it was out there but that airport has been there since before WWII when the Navy took it over. we played in one of the old hangars from the Naval Base days.

interesting article. I didn't know there was another target mound.

I remember the name, but I don't ever remember being there.
That doesn't, in any way, mean that I was never there.

When I was in school down there in the 70's you could see a lot of those old buildings. They seemed to be all over the place. I suspect that there isn't 1 left standing today.

ya, they were all over, back then. Norman as still a sleeply little college town, nothing like it is, now. Heck, I remember the OU Press had a book sale and it was all the books you could get in a bag, sack or whatever for $5 and it was in a quonset hut on campus.

Remember that place well....friend of mine was drunk and thought it would be a great idea to jump in. I had to wade in and pull his sorry ass out. Not a fun night.
