In 1964 we bought a new house in Woodland View, the addition north of 61st between Sheridan and Memorial. There was nothing south or east of there until Bixby and Broken Arrow. Not even in the city limits at the time. Union was just little school house on 61st between Memorial and Mingo. The county poor farm was where Lafortune park is now. A dairy farm with old folks living there, it was our voting place for a while. The ponds were there way back, my dad and I fished them during WW2 when gas was too scarce to go very far. I grew up in Brookside in the late 30's, 40's and 50's, and pretty much watched Tulsa grow south.
