Loved the pictures. I grew up in Guthrie and would often travel the back roads with my mother on our way somewhere. My grandparents lived in Coyle and we would often go on the dirt roads just to see old buildings. One day I did notice 2 Oklahoma Furniture trucks in the trees. I ask a old man (the only one I saw in the town) who owned the trucks and he said that he did. I paid him $10 to take one of the doors or air horn off so I would have a reminder of the truck that my daddy drove.(I have a picture of the truck with the same number on it, as one of the trucks that has almost rusted away) I would guess that the trucks are still there but I think that the old man maybe not.

I spent a good portion of my childhood around this town. My grandparents were both postmasters in Meridian and so were part of this nice little community. Why no pics of the stone school? It is a beautiful example of WPA work. I remember community pot-luck suppers there. It is by far the neatest building in town. If anyone wants to know anything about this town, I know some and my family knows a lot.

I think they should do downtown Coyle as well. Alot of old abandon buildings and houses here.
Oh and the outskirts of Langston

Wow I live in Coyle which is a few miles east of Meridian but I've never explored there. I love old buildings and homes and have found some really neat ones around here. I will have to explore Meridian now. How do you find these places? Do you get permission to go inside? If so, how do you know who to contact? There's an awesome old farmhouse out here that I've gotten permission to explore but I'm waiting until fall when some of the vegetation and ticks die off!
