Another Alva Mural On the Drawing Board...

Some of you northwestern Okies might remember this corner on Oklahoma Blvd. and 5th Street that was made famous back in the sixties as the Toot-n-Tell. This building once housed one of Alva's first (if not the first) quickstops.... the Toot-n-Tell. You could just pull-up to the door on the south side of the building - toot your auto horn - and purchase just about any quickstop items. I remember it from my college days in the late '60s. The reason I mentioned this building is because the Alva Mural Society has earmarked the eastside of this building as the next site for another mural to grace the area buildings around Alva. It is in the planning stages to find an artist to paint a mural of the original "Castle on the Hill." If you travel over to the Alva Review Courier , 17 February 2004, Article, you can read, see a computerized rendition of what the Castle on the Hill mural would look like.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
