Allen's Conoco - Route 66 - Commerce, OK Allen's Conoco Fillin' Station in Commerce was built ca. 1930 by F.D. Mitchell as a place for travelers to stop along the newly paved Route 66. While it served Conoco fuel gas for the first few years, it became a Phillips 66 Gas Station in 1938. It is rumored that Bonnie & Clyde may have stopped for gas here. Since the green cottage style gas station is built against a red brick wall, it's also known as the "Hole in the Wall Conoco Station." It was closed for many years but was purchased and refurbished as a beloved photo op known for its vibrant green paint with red trim. As a personal note, this is my last Oklahoma or Route 66 photo I'll be uploading for a while. I guess that just means I have to get back out there.
Mickey Mantle Statue - Commerce, OK Mickey Mantle was from Commerce, OK and his town dedicated this statue and the baseball field next door to him. This statue also faces Route 66. As an all-time great, his jersey number of 7 is retired by the New York Yankees. This side calls him a great teammate and the other referenced his local nickname of "Commerce Comet." His name is etched into the base to look like a typewriter. If you visit the area, also check out his boyhood home: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2nEqZaP" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/2nEqZaP</a> There's another statue of him in front of the OKC Bricktown Ballpark: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2nDto7N" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/2nDto7N</a>
Synar Farm, NEO A&M College Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear and I were driving from Kansas City back to College Station, Texas today. We noticed this sign in Miami, Oklahoma (is OK) and decided to pull over so I could get a photo of Little Texas Aggie Bear on the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College sign. “Make it quick!” insisted Little Texas Aggie Bear. “It’s not safe at NEO A&M College!” I took a few photos of Aggie Bear and the sign and asked the little bear why it wasn’t safe. “Oh, it’s safe enough for you.” said Aggie Bear. “But, ‘Equine Center’ is on the college’s main sign. That implies lots of horses and Oklahoma A&M cowboys to ride them horses. The Oklahoma Aggies would like nothing better than to throw me into an arena and practice, ‘Roping the Bear.” Little Texas Aggie Bear paused for a second and yelled, “Get me the heck away from these Oklahoma Aggies before they kill me!”
