Cruising Grand

On every Friday night downtown from April to October they have a car show called Cruising Grand (because the main thoroughfare that is on is called Grand Avenue). They close the streets to only be pedestrian traffic and for like five blocks on all sides it is completely filled with vintage cars. It is a super cool even because it attracts a lot of people each and every Friday so all the businesses stay open late for it. Also it always has a lot of cars and the guys that own cars like this just love it. Since it is their passion they get to speak to novices that just admire the coolness factor as well as others of the same ilk and passion - wins all around and it makes for a super friendly atmosphere. There is usually a couple of live bands playing. They have some food stands. And of course it is a great chance for super photos. Best part is it is all FREE - I am so loving the free stuff. I even got free popcorn while I was there but don't worry the pizza and beer in the photos were fake so I was not tempted in anyway. While my sister and niece where here we all went down and they loved it. They said they so could see me driving around in a car like the yellow one and I agree! I would always wear an argyle cardigan while driving it. I could so work that! What a fantastic time!
