I recall dining at the restaurant on the top of the old circular Summit Hotel in the 60s and watching the singing group, "the Ink Spots". I think we were on the 9th or 10th floor and could look over the top of the city, as it was one of the highest buildings at the time.
Also I recall one of the favorite places to go dancing at the time was the "Isle of Capris", also known by some as the "Pile of Debris".
I miss the old smaller town atmosphere of the 60s, when everyone in the oil patch knew who the movers and shakers were, and the small oil stocks could double or move up by a factor of 10 times overnight, with a sudden discovery.
