How Long's It Been?

Since we had 13" of snow or close to it. Well if you don't live in Enid you probably heard on the news we had that much when we woke up yesterday morning. I went out today and shot a few photos of the snow piles. (I know if you live on the East Coast or Colorado you are laughing but you got to remember how much snow we are famous for).

Bartlesville ends Enid's season

November 6, 2010

The Enid News and Eagle Sat Nov 06, 2010, 12:58 ABARTLESVILLE — — A football season, so full of promise, ended in bitter disappointment for the Enid Plainsmen (6-4, 4-3) Friday night as the Bartlesville Bruins (7-3, 5-2) thumped them 28-9, knocking Enid completely out of the playoff picture.

The Plainsmen’s loss, combined with wins by Bixby over Sand Springs (48-35) and Owasso over Ponca City (38-7), put the finishing touches on Enid’s spiraling playoff aspirations. An Enid win would have secured the No. 2 seed in District 6A-4 and a home playoff game against Norman.

Local restaurant shuts its doors after half-century in Enid

Pak-A-Sak, an Enid restaurant staple that has been on the corner of Maine and Fifth since 1954, has shut its doors. Pak-A-Sak owner Terry Washburn said he made the decision to close the business Friday after he received a letter from St. St. Mary’s owns the Pak-A-Sak property. Talks progressed from there, and although there is no formal agreement between the two entities, it’s looking like the longtime Enid restaurant may move west, potentially moving to the mall near Jan. 1.
