[quote="HomeRacingWorld"]You will find this hard to believe, but we drive through your town on our way to visit our son at Ft. Sam. A buddy of mine retired there and he sent me a photo of that same station that he used as a reference for one he built on his track :)[/quote
Wow! Thanks for that Harry. It really is a small world after all. Our downtown area was the hub of the city until a large mall was built on the other side of the town. It pretty much killed the historic down town area. The city has now been in a revitalization program to bring the downtown area back to life. And it’s working. It still has most of the huge , old buildings that were built with old oil money. I remember going there with my grandparents when I was a child. Woolsworth , and Montgomery wards were two places we frequented. They both had old creeky wooden floors. They are still there and still creeking today. They are now antique stores , which a lot of them are now. I love the old town area. I love just going through the old stores , it brings back many fond memories of my childhood. I could go on and on about this , but I guess I will end this now. Getting kinda sentimental. LOL.
