Amazing details, like a time portal to the past! Thank you, the trolley was an important part of the metro development. I was an avid fan of the Katy and Rock Island railroads in the 60s and 70s, growing up in elk city. The ORM has done a great job keeping rail history alive, if we could just get AmTrak north to Wichita.

The Mesa Verde is in Colorado and I don't know of any place in Oklahoma that is 6000 feet above sea level. Plus the fact that Drago tells Dev Warren that he is letting the prettiest filly West of Denver get away in regards to Becky McClintock and last I looked on a map Oklahoma is East of Denver.

MY Da...HI All I too was a Toodle House Brat !!! MY Dad, Tommy Tompkins, was a Manager at the T. H. on Gaston Ave., Dallas, Tex. It was across the street from Gaston Ave. Batist Church and Down from Baylor Hosp. He traveled from Texas to Nebraska in the 40's . My Mother and I took a Train up to visit him. If I remember correctly, He used to Roll his Hamburger meat into a Ball and would flatten them out on the Grill. Beating the eggs in a Malt Machine with Cream and watching him toss the omelets in the air was something to see !!! Hash Browns w/ Butter / Oil and Paprika. WoW. Not only was the Ice Box Chocolate Pie Great , I believe he had a Butterscotch Ice Box Pie also. He left in mid 40's and He and the Duntons ( A Large Cafeteria Family in Dallas) designed and developed a small chain of Hasty Tasty's Based on Toodle House Concept. 9 stools! I have the Chocolate recipe on a sheet of paper in his hand writing and am looking for it.

My most recent problem has been locating information about her great grandfather. We knew he had kids born in the Indian and Oklahoma Territories but couldn't find a location we found referenced. <br />Finding anyone in Oklahoma (I now know of 4) who ever heard of "London, Oklahoma" and who also knew that Roger Mills County butted up to Greer county was nearly impossible. <br />But -- the map you provided, I've found where London was (it's another of those sites that no longer exist) and this has given me a shot at being able to put our feet on the ground where her ancestors also stepped.<br />Thanks again for all your hard work and making this available.<br />Dale<br />Dale and Donna (Hammer) Durnell<br />Jones, OKKF8DLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738889047284898358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-72119396477468010792018-01-09T09:29:35.967-06:002018-01-09T09:29:35.967-06:00The cardboard token worth one tenth of a penny, wa...The cardboard token worth one tenth of a penny, was not a streetcar token... but rather a tax mill, later these would be made out of very thin steel with a hole punched in the middle, and about the size of a quarter.
