We used to walk up there all the time because we lived on the corner of First and Xanthus, which is only about a mile from Swinney's. I got my first oil lamp there, it was just sitting there in the window, waiting for my nine year old self. I always knew where they kept the lamps, up the ramp and to the left! Now, if I ever get back to Tulsa, Swinney's will be gone. :( I’m glad my parents and I were able to go one last time when we visited in April.

I want to check it out while I still can. It's sad when a community loses a valuable resource like that. Great quantities of "usual" stuff can never substitute for a local business that knows its customers and is eager to supply all their needs, not just the "usual" ones. God bless them, and I hope they can find a way to stay open. I’m glad it will still be open when we come to visit near the end of April. I want to check it out while I still can.
