Scooters is an other-worldly experience for those who aren't from Enid, or who have (graciously) moved away. Â
It's smoked filled and full of hillbillies. Unless you are used to this environment, there is no way you can be prepared for what you might see. There might be people walking around with no shoes on, in wheel chairs, and old men without teeth. This is spectacular for people watching and later story telling.
The crowd is "diverse," by Enid, OK standards. This is the only dance floor in the whole town, so everyone comes here. However, it's pretty segregated in the sense that ethnic groups keep to themselves and take turns using the dance floor. The dj will play country, and all the cowboys (white folks) will be out two-stepping. Then they'll play hip-hop and all the brown skinned people (and the wanna-bes) will come out. I've never seen anything like it! Â
I'm an Enid native who left after high school. I come home every once and again to visit family, and will come here on occasion to remind myself how grateful I am to have broadened my horizons. :)
P/S We came on a Saturday night, and they served 25 cent beers!
