The rain stopped early enough that I decided to take the car out and stop by my folks house in Downers Grove. Then I went through the downtown car show at about 7:30 - 8:00. Not a whole lot of people, but I talked to the guy who organizes it, and he said that tonight was the night where all the previous weeks' winners came to show their cars. Not a whole lot going on there, so I stopped in an Irish gift shop (I am a McKee) and then took off. You didn't miss much. |

But,there's still tomorrow afternoon at Geneva...hopefully...the rain will hold off.(PLEASE,Mother Nature,just so that we can get this last show in!) |

Thats what I've been seeing too. Maybe,yes,it will hold off. Because these are probably pretty much the last events like this for the season,and would really like to go. I might cruise through the last Downers Grove cruise night tonite if the weather holds up. I can always get a spot,as I am disabled (problems walking sometimes. I get regular injections in my lower spine to help me be able to walk,and meds.) I actually barely ever use my parking placard,unless it's really neccessary.( in ALOT of pain,or,if there's ABSOLUTELY no other place to park,and theres still a spot left for an old person...I won't take the last,or,only spot unless it's ABSOLUTELY neccessary.) And at the Downers Grove show,there's about 3 or 4 "disabled" spots in a row,right off of Main St.,on the side street 1 blk. south of the tracks. I used that spot once,when I couldn't find anywhere else to park. And,my son and I wanted to walk around,see the cars,and get a bite to eat. Never saw any other cars parked there! So,hopefully can get in the cruise nite tonite,and/or the show in Geneva,tomorrow.I am picking up my boy from his soccer practice around 12:00PM,or so. And it's only about a 10 minute drive to the Geneva show. So,we probably won't get there until 12:15,or 12:30,latest.(wife was going to come along,but had to work.)So,if I get there before you,I will save you a spot,and likewise. Thank-you! |

Frank, unfortunately I'm tied up that weekend. It really sucks 'cause that's my birthday (9/12). What better way to celebrate than to go for a drive. Maybe I can get free for a bit--let me know what your plans are. |

Well,I made some calls,and got the scoop on a few Cruise nights that are left. There may be more out there... **DOWNERS GROVE- Tonite,09/05,and,next Friday,09/12 is their LAST ONE! ** Next Wednesday, 09/10,ELMHURST-last one( a "rain out" make up night,they said) **Next Thursday,09/11,WESTMONT,LAST one,and their "theme" is Cadillac. ** And,once again,Friday,09/12,last night for Downers Grove. ** Don't forget,GENEVA,Saturday,09/13. From 1-3. Lombard is over,Wheaton is over. So,if anyone knows of any more... Also,I'm sure that people will still be cruising the A&W's, Strats,etc... And,in my opinion,...just about anywhere there's a Ferrari,is an "instant car show!" So,from what I just found. Thers one tonite,then,almost every night(or afternoon)next week! Wed.,Thurs.,Fri., and Sat. COOL! |
