Some Old Eating Places


Pennington Restaurant

Did you ever eat at the Golden Drumstick? When we were Seniors in Mr.
Westgate's Geology class (lunch period) we had a farewell lunch there.

There was a Pure Milk stand across the street from the Admiral Shopping Center, several blocks from the the school.

Burger Chef had yummy 15 cent hamburgers

Everybody on the East side of Tulsa ate at Bordens Sheridan Village Cafeteria at one time or another
