The Rest of the Story...

Alva, Oklahoma - May 27, 1911 Postcard 'Street Scene' -- Today, 95 years later, the water still runs like a river after a "hard rain." Has there ever been a plan to create a drainage system for Alva''s streets? Will there ever be?

Oklahoma Gas Prices -- Here in Westmoreland, KS, [and NE Kansas] the price of Unleaded Regular was $2.65.9 today. That is up from a day or two ago. We hear that the price is set at the Commodities Market and every time someone in the world "passes gas" the Commodities Market trembles at ~3.0 Magnitude. That may have been caught on the USGS equipment last week.

Kamel Cohlmia at Antique Cash Register -- About a year ago someone made a large donation of clothing to our theatre/historic costume collection. In it was a really nice tailored jacket with Frank''s label inside. I said to my helper, "By all means, handle that garment carefully as one day it is going to be an historic treasure." I am so glad we did that, not knowing at the time that Frank''s would be history in another year. We also have saved other jackets with labels from stores in small Oklahoma towns because, to me, clothing is a very important part of our prairie history that is often overlooked. Unfortunately, today a lot of people foolishly cut labels out of their clothing, and it makes the garments useless for meaningful preservation.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
