Driving through Chickasha, my friend was recalling childhood memories of coming to the "big city" back in the early 1950s. He and his father would climb into the old rattly pickup and drive to Chickasha to buy oil for their vehicle - a year's worth since they didn't know when they would be returning.
He had a vague idea of where the business had been; he remembered that it was near a convergence of railroad lines. We finally found the building at the northwest corner of the intersection of N. Fourth Street and Frisco. And this is what we found. The building has been vacant for many years; the paint is worn off, but the lovely old ghosts are still there, guarding a child's memories.
On the north and south sides of the old building the ghosts are saying, "The Texaco Company USA/Texaco Petroleum Products." On the east side of the building is the shadow of a geometric shield with the word "TEXACO" and a large "T".
The building is an old frame one on a concrete foundation, with corrugated metal siding...the perfect spot for ghosts to remain.
