Only Memories Remain Amongst the Rubble...

Only memories remain of this northwest Oklahoma womens dorm (Oklahoma Hall) that once graced the northwest corner of 8th & Oklahoma Blvd. on Northwestern Oklahoma State University (a.k.a. NSN, NSTC, NSC, NWOSU). When you drive by this corner on the highway, no more will you be able to notice the entrance drive being used for community car washes held under the arched drive through. Nor dates picking up and bringing women back to their dorms. Those were the old days we will always remember in the back of our minds.
