Saturday we went to visit Chickasha Oklahoma, where my Great Grandma Lois was born. The older part of it is mostly run down, with a few shops scattered, and many of the old signs still remain. Like the pool hall sign, best ever perhaps?
We went to a couple antique shops, where I found a real treasure: A huge brown carved bakelite bracelet for $60. I was looking at a few plain ones in a case at the same price, and as I was walking away the shopkeeper pulled the carved one out from a dark covered up corner of the case. Had I seen it? No. Did I want it?
Um, yes.

Great signs,they really don't make them like they use to.
Beautiful pictures!
Lovely photos that take us back to another time!
That billiards sign is awesome.
We used to go every year for the lights at the park.
FAbulous signs. A pity the area they are in is run down...
I'm absolutely loving your tour through Oklahoma, being a proud Okie myself :) Isn't it a hauntingly beautiful state? Should you find yourself in Tulsa, you've got a guide right here! Travel well!

I'm not sure I've ever posted here before, but I love your blog! The pictures and style are so fun to follow :)
Plus the cat in the last photo here looks exactly like my host family's old cat. It's a small world :)
How did you get all those great pictures of Cattlemen's and not take a picture of the doors with the steer's head on them?!?
I adore how you find kitties just about everywhere you go (and friendly ones to boot!), and that you share them with us. So sweet and delightfully special.
Oodles of hugs,

I've been really enjoying all of your travel posts, but I think the architectural elements you photographed in this post are my favorite!
