Hey Buzz, Harlan, Where are YA??? This sounds like your kinda thread!!!
Anyone contemplating a cruise in and around T town , Ya gotta cruise Peoria Ave! In the 60s and 70s it was well known as the "Restless Ribbon". Cars and kids cruising both sides of the street from 31st to 51st with restaraunts and drive in's like Pentingtons (Arnolds only bigger) and others. Now the fine eateries are Sonic, A&W and DW. It was THE meeting place for all of NE Oklahoma on a Friday or Sat night. I've lived out here in LA for many years and been to lots of cruises. Hollywood Blvd. Van Nuys Orange Co. etc. But none of them could hold a candle to Peoria on a Weekend night. Nothing to do on a Sat night? Just pile into your car and head for Peoria, you'd see 100s of kids all doing the same thing. Whether it was checking out the Hot Rods, girls, or making new friends you just couldnt beat it for fun, wholesome and cheap entertainment. Ive got lots of great memories thanks to those years and wouldnt trade a single one. If ya do cruise down Peoria Ave, when ya get to the Harley Dealership honk your horn. I grew up in the house directly behind it and have life long friends that still live on that block!
Michael
