Visit to Deep Duece again
Carmen and I went back to Deep Duece on Monday, February 18, 2008, our day off, after visiting the Oklahoma History Musuem. We went to the resturant and meet the bartender Phil who gave us some information and asked would you like to meet the owner, he is here. He owns most of the buildings and is the developer for Deep Duece. (He also said he is a little ecentric) Phil asked Mr. Craig Brown to talk to us for a few minutes and he agreed. We meet inside the resturant and briefly talked. We asked questions and he gave information. He had another commitment and could not stay long but we gathered some tidbits from him. The interesting thing is the bartender, Phil told us he had worked there for awhile and was there when some of the urbanization was going on. He said he heard "tell" that when the drugstore building was tore down there was two walls with a space in between. He said and Mr. Brown said that in the 60's and 70's it was a very bad place to be and much prostitution and drugs were in this area. He said one of his customers said there was a hole in the wall of the two buildings and you would stick your arm in and someone would shoot the drugs in your arm on the other side of the wall. The policy was "No names No face". The men who tore the building down said the area between the two walls was full of syringes and needles. Just a piece of tidbit.
