According
to a radio advertisement heard this week, Scooters in Collinsville is closing
out their entire stock of merchandise.
I have not had a chance to confirm or get further information from owner Mike
Lames due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The radio spot indicated that Greybeards
would continue in business. -- Ted -- Nov 28 -- 1:30am ..... (check back later)-->
The
former Morrison building shown standing all alone in a 1948 photo (above) has
had several business occupants over the years. It is the current location of
Scooters. In 1948 it was the Farmers Union Cooperative. I recall it being a
feed store for many years also.
The
building facade (and the adjoining add-on) were updated about a year ago to
move towards the concept drawn by the then Oklahoma Main Street Architect (Todd
Scott).
Friday
Nov 28 update (10:15am) : Caught Mike already busy at the register with his
only comment being "Scooters is going out of business" and "Greybeards
is staying put". Signs posted in the windows indicated Dec 31st as the
last day of business for Scooters. -- Ted
