502 Francis Street
There were 3 locations in 1950, 507 Edmond, 502 Francis and 704 Edmond.
When I delivered milk to Mr Wakely, he told me that he had owned 3 shops downtown but have no idea where the 2nd one was. He said that those 3 shops made him a millionaire.
As you came out of the theaters, you would smell the orange drink & hot dogs produced by Wakely's snack bar just west of the Electric Theater. Wakely's was torn down, to be replaced by the Victory Cafe.
