SLIDESHOW: Couple's new home came with quite the history lesson

Jay and Shandi Williams purchased an abandoned home and 12 acres at State Highway 9 and 192nd Avenue SE this past summer. The home came complete with a large swimming pool, old bath house and a nearby crypt containing the grave of one of Chicago's most famous underworld figures.....more>>

  • A great little place for rest and recreation
    The last two weeks of October turned out to be a perfect time for my vacation.
    I stayed at a little place I know that boasts the most comfortable beds in the world. Situated on a tree-lined bike route with more bike trails nearby, it's also within easy walking or biking distance of art museums and galleries, theaters and superb concert facilities offering a broad range of top-notch musical performances.
  • Chairs concerned as United Way nears campaign's end
    It's 1:30 a.m. and Super Target's night stockers are busy replenishing the massive store's shelves after a busy day of shopping. They take a break long enough to listen as two business leaders make their case encouraging workers to invest in Norman's United Way campaign.
  • One man's trash is another man's home building material
    Editor's note: Professional photos of Richard Delbridge's home and artwork can be viewed at http://www.johnthomasphotography.net/delbridge2/8132009.html

    COLE -- Richard Delbridge can't stand to see good materials go to waste.
  • It's just a game?
    "It ain't over till it's over," quipped Yogi Berra in the 1970s when his baseball team trailed 9 1/2 games behind another team, but came back and won the division anyway.
    Baseball is the penultimate American sport that, to many, brings back many fond, and sometimes not so fond, memories of childhood sandlot games, watching a favorite team take the World Series in seven games in October and just plain old-fashioned competition.
  • Artist's 'labor of love' will hang in new Thunderbird Clubhouse
    The hallway walls, meeting rooms and offices at Thunderbird Clubhouse's new east Norman home are full of artwork done by club members, current and past. Vivid paintings tell the story of adults recovering from mental illness.
  • 'Couples Retreat' in October? Now that's scary
    This time of year is great. Not too hot, not too cold and, oh yeah, my favorite holiday that doesn't involve beer and the color green is coming up. The only thing I object to about Halloween is that it's technically only one night of fun; with St.
  • Committee seeks memories of Norman's train depot
    When members of the southbound construction crew hammered their line's final spike at Purcell shortly after 5 p.m. April 26, 1887, the preferred mode of transportation in central Oklahoma changed. Less than two months later, the first passenger trains headed north through Norman at about 1 p.
  • Disillusioned by the 'reality' show
    I've been bamboozled. I've been had. Definitely been buffaloed. I'd even go so far as to say I've been snookered.
    For decades the magic of television has made us believe that everything is easily wrapped up in 30 minutes or less.
  • My kind of politician, no lawyer jokes and a lost ring found
    Henry Bellmon was my kind of politician. He worked hard. Tackled the tough challenges and didn't mind spending public money if the priorities were right. He didn't consider government the enemy.
    He minced few words.
