Gold Spot Dairy Lunchroom

Al Weigand says, "Reading the Woolworth's menu brought back a memory of the Gold Spot Dairy Lunchroom in Enid.

Living in the Lambert community, we made it to Enid on occasion (starting at 6:00 AM and proceeding at 35 MPH during WWII). If we were going to a family reunion, we would stop and get fresh potato chips at a Chip factory on N. Grand on our way to Government Springs Park, where there were actual springs running with a sign announcing the mineral content of each.

If we were there to shop, we sometimes had a malted and a pimento cheese sandwich at Gold Spot. I do not know what was in that pimento cheese, but I remember it as rich, delicious and satisfying. Wish I had the recipe.

Other random Enid memories include the shoe department at Kress, with the X-ray machine to look at your feet inside the shoe, and the twin water fountains labeled "white" and "colored" on the inside wall. A burger joint on the corner East of the bank, with 15-cent sliders and perpetual bean soup (they never tossed out the soup and started over, just added to it).
