anyone looking to get together for the down river cruise? there are a bunch of us from several different sites working on getting a decent location to park and relax during the cruise. if anyone is interested post here.

 

Count me in!

 

Do you have any info?? This is the first time I have ever heard of this

 

when is it? I might go if my car is running again by then.

I'm in for sure!

 

My wife and I are there every year - this year too.

 

may just have to head over! have to see if the guys are willing.

 

while we are trying to take care of all the details and get us the best spot possible i would appreciate it if those of you who are nearby in the area or possibly have some connections might be able to help with a spot or if at best give me some leads of whom to contact to work on this with.

with that area being a bit far for myself and others i can't just drop by and personally talk with everyone much like i would setting up woodward. again, any help or even suggestive locations would be great!

 

Well, just for a little bit of information, although the cruise is on Saturday, Friday night it is actually better (in my opinion) Either way, it is fun hanging out both nights.

I usually hang out by the Kmart or the Meijer (which are across from each other) On the map on the website it shows where the Kmart is, the Meijer is just on the opposite side of the road.

Really any place is good, but there aren't too many other large parking lots along the road. I can maybe go around and see who may be letting people use their lot. I know last year a few friends of my step-dad got a small/medium-ish sized lot, I will see how they went about that.

Best way to probably get a decent lot would be to have a fair number of cars get there early and fill in is my guess, but I will find out how they did go about it.

I will get back to you guys on it though.

 

crap! that is the day of my grad party

 

cant wait for it

 

That would be our best bet! But there is a national city bank between goddard and moran that we could probly get unless it is in operation that sat. Or there is also a Radio shk next to a carpet place between goddard and northline that we may be able get. I will check both places and get back with you!

 

Yeah, I forgot about those places. The national city bank was where a few of my step-dad's friends got it a few years ago I think. I forgot about the radio shack lot, it isn't too bad of a size. I may go for a drive later and try to check out some other lots; I am having a brain fart of lot sizes, but I can remember businesses...

 

most dealerships and larger size areas closer to flexivity as well as k-mart usually have rented or sponsored areas. not being close enough to just walk the streets it would really help me out if someone could look for a place that had at least a solid 10 spots up front and at least room for 20 or so cars in their lot...preferably a nice lot if possible.

get the name an number if you can't talk to them yourself and i'll call to speak with them.
