Cheese Dip anywhere, or have the recipe?
The last time I located the (then) owners of the restaurant, about 15 year
ago, they had a small "Italian Inn" on old Route 66, quite a way east of
Claremore. I convinced my girlfriend that we should go by there on our way
back to Kansas City (home now). They weren't open during the day, but sold
me a couple of cartons of the dip. It was just as delicious as ever. We used
to eat at Adolph's original Italian Inn on Main when I was a kid. My Dad
and I would stop on Sunday, knock on the back door, and Adolph would sell
us cheese dip, and his hard breadsticks. Love to have some more!
We learned where to get the Italian Inn cookbook, Once Upon a
Table, in GB 224.

City? It's on Air Depot), and it has an interesting story, but I only know
the outer skin.
It was a Grandy's for a long time, then closed and opened as a Boomerang
Grille - great burger, and Oklahoma (OU) decor. Then, Boomarangs left the
area, and it reopened as a Grandy's again, and practically gutted. I've only
been there twice, but it was strange; tables and chairs, a hostess, and the
staff took your order at the table. Weird, sit-down fast-food experience.
July 19 2008 at 20:42:55 Name: Mike Bruchas Topic: Matt Bunyan
Comments: Matt asked me to ask about a KTUL "front office party"
with Tom Goodgame and staff of the 70's - that may have been held in Tulsey
a month or so ago.
He had to work.
As he put it, "one of the Patti's lives near me and left me an invite..".
We had several Patti's at 8 - all swell, competent and great workers but
which one - he forgot. Does anyone know about this??
--
I had called him tonight, because I had found a new book about restaurants
along Rt. 66 - specifically at the Chicago end. In it was
"Lou Mitchell's"
- where his Dad used to dine (it is across from Union Station) and later
teen-aged, Matt, dined when he lived in the Chicago burbs and came downtown
on his railroad pass. This WAS Matt's favorite Chicago joint.
Though St. Louis born and raised - Matt spent his high school years in
Chicagoland. His late Dad was an exec with the GM & O railroad and had
his office IN Union Station's older building. Every time we talked - he'd
ask, "..have you found Lou Mitchell's yet?".
I had been looking for the restaurant on the wrong side of the Chicago River.
Found it by a fluke and the area that it is in has been gentrified. Still
open 7 days a week.

buff, I go to at least 2 antique car shows a week to look and take pix. When
you are unemployed you need distractions that cost little to attend.
Last night in Westmont, IL I revisited 1970s Olds and Pontiac muscle cars.
So many from the 70s would have been seen in the KTUL parking lot. At 8 then,
we were big Pontiac GTO and Olds Cutlass fans. Ed Morris and Bob Welsh at
8 then had cars identical to what I saw last night. Talk about flashback!
In my hometown tonight, it was to have been military, fire and farm trucks.
Unfortunately 80 muscle cars showed to hog the spaces. Wasn't their night
but no one had told them.
I like steam-powered farm machinery and there was only 1 area. I miss the
steam shows from Pawnee and Osage County that I used to go when I lived in
Tulsa.
There were about 4 antique fire trucks, 1 local. Was talking to a guy who
owns several FWD pumpers. He is an OSU grad and of course T. Boone Pickens
in the news came up. He introduced me to 3 MORE OSU grads and then while
talking to a retired Forest Park FD chief with a restored open cab Mack truck.
He told me that a lot of Chicago area firefighters had gone to school at
OSU or been to Stillwater for continuing education seminars. Smaller world,
eh? AND we all talked about T. Boone Pickens in the news!

Comments:
Special movie event Sunday July 20 at the

Get Lost" (1988), with in-person guest musicians Mike Moore, Jack Hannah
and MC Rich Fisher.
The long-unavailable documentary focuses on Yale, Oklahoma's Chet Baker,
the great jazz trumpeter. It's a fascinating series of interviews with friends,
family, associates and lovers, interspersed with film from Baker's earlier

Chris Isaak is featured.

liquor licenses. NC seemed like a wackier version of OK life. Half of the
young Christian Rockers in NC clubs were as wild as the Goth crowd (I had
to make video dubs of club musicians there as part of job description when
I worked in Charlotte).
Them durned kids... Don't tell me that the Rose Bowl has a liquor license.
I'm sure that a few complaints with the efficient Tulsa City/County Health
folks might shut the place down. Us "normal folks" in Chicagoland don't seem
to have much of the above.
Okay there are some gnarly Goth clubs IN Chicago, but that's THE BIG CITY.
And if we want folk or bluegrass in the Winter, we still have church-sponsored
"coffee houses" which reflect an older crowd instead of kids. Or the still
great Old Town School of Folk Music. Of course, us oldsters remember the

dot net Comments: Last night I talked with my mom (age 82) about the
Pink Barn. Just like me, she had forgotten all about it. She thinks that
since it was such a struggle to get me to go week after week, I didn’t
attend very long. To my memory, it seemed to last for months and months—but
I do recall that as time went on I didn’t mind it quite so much.
She did recall very clearly the Pink Barn’s strict policy of not letting
students leave the building until their parents pulled up in their cars.
I also thanked her for sending me to the Pink Barn. It probably helped, at
least a little, with my social skills, which were pretty pathetic for most
of my teen years. My wife then reminded my mom that I’m a pretty good
ballroom dancer. I’ve enjoyed lessons as an adult, and I’m sure
the Pink Barn helped with that too.
I couldn’t thank my dad. He died in Claremore, age 88, on 23 May 2008,
just three days before Memorial Day. He was an A-20 pilot with 75 combat
missions in World War 2, and worked in engine maintenance at the American
Airlines Engineering Center in Tulsa until 1980.
For some reason I can’t explain, when I think of my dad the words to
an old Guess Who song keep popping up. It’s the chorus from 1975’s
“Dreams,” written by Burton Cummings and Domenic Troiano, and it
was one of the last songs the Guess Who ever recorded. Here it is:
Seems like they come and go so quickly,
Disappearin’ in the air like a breath of wind,
And they may not ever be explained,
And I woke up thinkin’ I was dyin’,
If you find one hang on with all you got
Way down deep, deep in your soul,
For it may not ever come again,
And I woke up cryin’ like a baby
Hey yay yay yay . . .
No they may not ever be explained.

It still happens but now the Letter Carriers (who had a drive back in May)

sports teams (track and field and cross-country) did it this Spring before
Easter.
At one time TU sororities and fraternities had a canned food drive but we
used to joke that a lot of the canned food might be cast-off cans of Brown
Derby beer!
The Tivoli Theatre here in the Chi burbs. used to do a Saturday morning kids'
feature with donations of canned foods in the 50s and 60s. Usually you had
to bring a sack of 3 or 4 cans of soups or veggies and there were always
idiots who brought cereal and mac 'n' cheese in cardboard boxes.

of this.

from the houses in our neighborhoods and then take them all to a big truck

Even as a kid, I was a TV Guide collector, but instead bought a local magazine
probably because it was a nickel cheaper. I've looked all through this site
to see if there's any mention of it, but can't find one.
Does anyone know any info about the magazine? It was TVG-shaped, but that's
about all I can remember. Any memory refreshing would be appreciated.
I can't answer your question, but as a side note, Gemstar-TV Guide has
an operation here in Tulsa at 71st and Lewis. It became a part of
Macrovision
a couple of months ago. Macrovision will keep the TV listings data side of
the business, and likely spin off TV Guide magazine and possibly, the TV
Guide Network.
And of course, Weird Al's "UHF" (1988) was shot
in Kensington Galleria, where TV Guide has its Tulsa offices.

Truly a one off kind of guy. I recall that he had an expansive repertoire
of off-color parodies of folk songs with which he would regale any audience
(whether they wanted to be regaled or not) accompanied by a dreadnought Epiphone
acoustic guitar that he could almost hide behind.
At the time, he was a pretty tightly strung fellow whose lot it was to empty
the ashtrays of the remaining 10 or so employees, all of whom followed the
lead of the pawn shop manager in smoking mail order cigars from the Thompson
Tobacco Co all day long. George may have been the only non-smoking employee
at the time and I think it gave the pawn shop owner perverse amusement to
task George with a chore that George found to be a burden. To put it mildly,
George did not accept the responsibility graciously and made no corresponding
effort to conceal the fact.
He left us far to early. Requiescat...

Coffee Houses Email: TnPHarris@aol.com Comments: Have been fascinated in reading so many of these
great memories, but wanted to make one small correction.
Folkland was my baby - not Bob Anderson's.
It ran for about a year and was a place that folk musicians around the area
could perform.
Each Friday night would feature one or two booked acts, and then open the
floor up for guest sets. It was a labor of love for me since I never made
any money at it. I took all the money taken in from the door and refreshments
and split it among the performers.
It was there at Folkland where I met James Smith, and he and I were teamed
up for some 14 years as The Rovin' Singers. Our first show as a duo was at
The Dust Bowl, which Bob Anderson and Mike
Flynn opened after Folkland closed.
Jim (Little Jimmy Smith, as I called him) and I changed our act from straight
folk music to folk based and pop oriented and in addition to the coffee house
circuit, went on to become one of the first folk groups to take the music
into bars and clubs around the Southwest.
I just recently ran across an old reel-to-reel tape from Folkland and Jim
had it converted to a CD. On it are The Goliard Singers (3 young folks from
Will Rogers High School, The Folkmen, Sandy Wark, Mike Flynn, John Chick
and Sam and Lou (Routh). Fun to go back and hear these folks sing again.
Even had some of our own stuff that we recorded converted to CD, shows at
The Village Pub, the original Blue Coat Inn
(on South Lewis) and a concert at the American Airlines Stewardess College
in Texas.
Great music was available all over Tulsa if you just knew where to look.

George was one of the most direct and honest guys I've ever known. You could
