Bonnie & Clyde

"Bonnie & Clyde were pretty lookin' people, but I can tell ya, people, they were the devil's children". Central National Bank of Poteau, Oklahoma, (still open in the downtown, historical part of town) has the dubious distinction of being one of the first bank heists pulled off by the Clyde Barrows Gang back in 1934 (I think that's the right year). Clyde and the boys walked in the bank, showed their guns, and took all the money, after making everyone lie down on the floor. They then went out, got into the waiting get-away car (driven by Bonnie) and disappeared into hills of Wister, which is the next town to the south? of Poteau. Now isn't that an exciting little tidbit?! See, I told y'all (that's Oklahoma-speak for you all) yesterday that you should be waiting with baited-breath for this story! That's all for now, folks!
