On today's
episode of the Only in OK Show, we take you on a audio visit to
Lucille's Service Station in
Hyrdo, Oklahoma.
Lucille's Service Station, a classic and historic gas station
along Route 66 near Hydro, is one of only two upper-story,
out-thrust porch style stations left on Oklahoma's stretch of Route
66. Built in 1929 by Carl Ditmore, the service station was renamed
to Provine Station in the 1930s. In 1941, the Hamons family took
over the operation of the station.
Founded on August 6, 1901, built near the Choctaw, Oklahoma
and Gulf Railroad, the settlement was originally called "Caddo",
but when the post office was established in September 1901, the
name was changed to "Hydro" in reference to the town's plentiful
well water.
Route 66. U.S. Highway 66 is popularly known as
Route 66 or the Mother Road and holds a special place in American
consciousness and evokes images of simpler times, mom and pop
businesses, and the icons of a mobile nation on the road.
We also discussed Soldier Creek Industrial Park Trail,
MWC, Hub Bike Park LLC and the
Midwest City Beacon.
