Oklahoma Floral is still a great business. They are very helpful and dependable when I call from overseas to order something for my mom and dad. Who needs Amazon when you have great 'local' businesses to support??!!
Loewen Hotel and Theatre was known to me in the 60s and early 70s at the OXFORD HOTEL...it was sad to see it torn down years later; look at the picture, it was a built with class and style; and the historic building which should have been preserved as part of Enid's history & beauty! Thanks for providing this great pic!
The Loewen also was known as "The American Hotel", before it became the Oxford. It burned down in 1978. I wish they built Hotel's like this today.
