Chicken Shack to reopen Lake Murray restaurant after Swadley's, Lookout Kitchen failures
Correction: Brent Swadley, who operated Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchens at Oklahoma's state parks, was sentenced to six years probation on Oct. 22. The duration of Swadley's probation was incorrect in an earlier version of this story. Chicken Shack , a popular stop along Route 66 in Arcadia, is set to reopen the restaurant at Lake Murray State Lodge near Ardmore following two failed attempts by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation to place all its park eateries under one operator. State tourism officials announced Wednesday, Oct. 28, the 6,000-square-foot restaurant, formerly home to Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchen and Lookout Kitchen , is expected to open this winter. “Lake Murray is one of Oklahoma’s most visited state parks, and we want every part of the experience we provide there to reflect what makes it such a special destination,” said Amy Blackburn, executive director of the state tourism department. “Bringing Chicken Shack into the lodge gives our guests another quality amenity and a place to gather and enjoy their time at the park. Chicken Shack brings an established Oklahoma brand, a strong concept and a commitment to becoming part of the Lake Murray community.” More: As Oklahoma works to revive Route

Hack joked with the sold-out crowd before the show began. "One little caveat, since you're going to be on camera tonight, I just want to make sure that you're not here with somebody you shouldn't be. And if you are, now's a good time to switch seats with your neighbor. I know you're going to be an enthusiastic audience." Indeed, when Songwriters Hall of Famer Jimmy Webb took the stage, his home-state crowd was up on its feet before he could even launch into his 1967 breakthrough hit "Up, Up and Away ." "Very, very happy to be back in Oklahoma tonight — I say back in Oklahoma because I started in Oklahoma 80 years ago," Webb said after landing the record-setting smash
