Falls School, district 31

Now that the weather has turned nice, my first photo essay will be here, Falls School, district 31 in Cleveland county.

Rootsweb has this to say about it:(http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okccogs/schools/schooldistricts-legals.htm)

"FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 31: Northeast corner of Section 29-9N-1W. Now 1130 84th Ave NE, Norman. Name taken from the Little River Falls which were nearby."



Here's a picture of it at night.



And right across the road is a path or road to the inlet for the City of Norman's supply pipeline from Lake Thunderbird. Norman's water treatment plant is at 3000 E Robinson, literally just a few miles east of Falls School.

Look for the pictures to be up later this weekend or early next week.

"These town hall meetings are a great opportunity to get feedback from Fourth District residents, and I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's ideas and concerns," Cole said.

"With everything that's going on in Washington these days, these forums play a valuable role in shaping debate. I invite everyone to participate and share their views."

Looks like Cleveland County may get one last bit of cold and wet weather before springtime.

Oklahoma Railway Through Moore To Norman

I took this from a 1947 map of the State of Oklahoma available at http://www.odot.org/hqdiv/p-r-div/maps/state-maps/pdfs/1947.pdf. In it you can see a) Robinson Ave in Norman is OK highway 74, and b) the path of the Oklahoma Railway Company (interurban) as opposed to the Santa Fe's track.

Something that I think is really neat in this also is the Farm to Market road just to the east of Moore. It's the road running due north from US-77 to US-270 and has "FM" in a diamond with an arrow pointing to it. Is that Sunylane? sooner? Bryant? I almost want to say it's Eastern. Thoughts anyone?
