Where in the Metro?
Monday November 9, 2009
Jane Schane knew where last week's photo was taken. That was the Dean A. McGee Eye Institute on NW 56th, with the photo submission by About.com contributor Roni Collins.
And this week, we have another one from Roni, who has discovered this side of the game is fun too. My thanks once again to Roni for the submissions. Post your guesses for this week's picture below.
If anyone else would like to submit one for a future week, just send it my way for consideration, and make sure you identify it as "Where in the Metro?".

This is the old Public Market at S.W. 3rd and S Kline. It where the OKC’s roller girls team hold some of their matches. My mom said that when she was younger, she would go there to roller skate. It has decient produce venders around the building that is open most of the year if you want some fresh produce.
It’s the old farmers market. That is where Mustang High School does it Prom normally
It is actually a more of a flea market/antique shop. The produce is back to the west of this building
My dad used to wrestle here at the public market back in the 40s. They wrestled at a couple of buildings in OKC and this was one of them when they would put on a big show.
My Mother in Law has told the kids and I how her family used to load the wagon up and take the produce and stuff that they had made to the market. She said that they would start out before sunrise because it was such a long trip from Mustang back then. Amazing what changes the lady has seen in her 90 years here.
Old Farmers Market… wow been a long time since I’ve been there. Used to go with my dad to get veggies and plants and stuff… sure brings back memories.
That’s the Farmer’s Market downtown.
