[Leica] Oklahoma City photos

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Here are a few photos from Stockyards City in Oklahoma City, originally 
known as "Packing Town" decades ago.  Very little has changed there over 
the decades.  One of my favorite photos, if I can ever find the neg, was 
of its deserted main street on a Christmas day, when there was blowing 
snow - I kept thinking of "The Last Picture Show".   If you happen to 
visit, Cattlemen's Steak House is a must stop.  Some years ago 
management decided to keep set hours instead of being open 24 hours, but 
no one could find a key.   It is the only place in town still serving 
calf brains and eggs for breakfast, though I no longer eat that because 
of lingering doubts about the mad cow thing.  They do have the best lamb 
fries in town.

This was something new, so I asked my wife about Cruel Girl jeans - 
evidently you have to be pretty petite.  I thought about Steve Martin's 
routine on the "cruel shoes".

That sign has probably been there for 40 years.  I don't think anyone is 
going to correct the owner on spelling.
