I love the old fashioned food. I love the booths. I love that it isn’t stylized or themed. I love the clientele. Long live The Lunchbox!!

(p.s. I also miss RJ’s.)

And no, the photo doesn’t quite reflect the vibe of Allen’s now, did it?
Damn, I miss that place.

I hate that we are an uptight society. I know you softened it for a reason. Thanks for the explanation.

It was heartening to see their business completely full of Devon construction workers in with the regulars. I am sure it is a help in lean times.

I kid, Steve, of course. It’s not always easy to get the tone right in giving a nod to two openly gay businessmen, and the unique flair they brought to downtown OKC, at a time when that was highly unusual, and still is to this day.

Knowing Tony, at least, I would imagine he would be the last person in the world who would want anyone to be apologiste for what they represented. Good on them for carrying that torch when it was far more difficult than today.

It was provoking a response that could have led to a discussion I don’t think is appropriate for this blog. The two people who commented probably didn’t mean any harm, but I could see where things were going …
Capiche? Hopefully you’ll be supportive of my my decision on this one.

I’m referring to the bit on Allen’s Cafe. Or, did I miss something?
