As you know, we here at The Lost Ogle are suckers for OKC nostalgia. We never miss a chance to take a trip down memory lane, remembering the people, places and things that made our childhood appear great, and then try to profit from the memories through unlicensed t-shirts:
Seriously, though, isn't nostalgia awesome? There's nothing better than reminiscing about fonder, simpler times, when the only things that mattered were scoring a seat in the Crystal's cartoon room, picking out your Mold-A-Rama at the zoo, and getting lost in the Ominplex's molecular crystal lattice playplace. Remember that crazy thing? Here's a pic that I found in the Oklahoma Historical Center newspaper archives:
Because we live in a nanny state where letting your kids crawl around in a germ-infested molecular petri-dish of bacteria and disease is frowned upon, the Crystal Lattice has gone the way of Ho Ho the Clown and no longers exists. At least that's what a friend told me.
