[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2198125, member: 1535"] I didnt live here back in the good old days of Tulsa or OKC but my wife is a native Tulsan and we talk about all the stuff gone now plus Ive visited both cities almost my entire life and I remember alot of everything mentioned so far, as well as alot of other stuff when I was here. When I turned 18 though it was mostly the bars because I played in bands but also bars that had foosball, and the bars that had girls. I played in Saturday foosball tournaments at Saigon Sallys a few times. This tall blonde stripper/dominitrix or whatever she was ran the tournaments. A friend was a DJ at the Stables for a bit. Cottons. Went there many times back in the day after being at the Jungle all night playing foosball or after playing in crappy bands at Windjammers or The Hustle. I remember the club Whiskers. We could get in some foosball while waiting to play on stage while playing in some really crappy metal bands. Used to play foosball at Sigi Grimms (an old friend) place at 15th and Memorial- he sold cars there too; the skateboard park across the street at 16th and Memorial; played tournaments at the old and new Billiards Palaces and then way back in the day there were tournaments during the week upstairs at the big 'disco', 20th Century. We played at tons of other places all over Tulsa, it was big then. Tulsa even hosted a World Championship foosball tournament once early 80s at the Camelot Hotel. I remember when the Crystal Pistol was a cowboy bar just a block from 244 on the northside of Sheriden, alot of the pro rodeo'rs hung out there. These days theres a downtown bar called Crystal Pistol but its mainly a place to hear metal and punk bands now. I am not a very big country and western fan but I sure liked buying Budd long necks 2 for .99 on Friday nights at Tulsa City Limits. My brother is a beer alco so we went there alot. The night I turned 18 a door man made me wait til it was midnight til he let me in at The Pearly Gates. It was 11:45pm. Later we ended up at the 'combat zone' of strip clubs on 21St right by 169, across the street from KMart. Seems like there were several strip clubs there all in a row- 'Temperatures Rising'? A good old buddy of mine started Cloud Nine club. He and his family ran many other clubs and bars over the years. 19 yrs old in a nice suit and my little niece pukes on me at a family dinner at The Celebrity Club. Those same front doors at all the different locations of Diamond Jacks. She recently closed the last one up on the hill on Yale and my wife has been dying from not getting her Rueben fix. No other place will do she says. I totally understand when something you have loved all your life and it becomes an institution, then suddenly it is never there again. My kids wont even go to the fair now because theyre still pissed about Bells being gone. My dad used to sell the Bells the white paint they painted Zingo with. (RIDESHY? Was it real, or a legend? Ever call it? We did. Just for fun and giggles drinking. Didnt turn out like 'Risky Business' tho. But it for sure was real...). [/QUOTE]
