The shopping center in the 600 block of Albert Pike has housed many area favorites from furniture, groceries and a pharmacy. Brandon's, Rephan's Fashion, Safeway, Sterlings, Oklahoma Tire and Supply plus Hopkins Drug Store. If you can remember the 1960's-70's... you can likely remember one or more of these! Can you name other tenants of this shopping area? Photos are early 1970's - about 50 years ago!
