Downers Grove Cruise Nights

Can anyone find when they start back up this year?

I know its prolly in May sometime.

I can't wait. We had such good times at these last year!

I know.

i love downers cruise nights. the best is when you drive down main street and make a lap before you park or when you are leaving with tons of people lining the street just watching.

can't wait to do it with my halos this year. people were always pointing and stuff when i just had grill lights.

AH HA! Found it. Downers doesn't start up again until May 21st.

Anyone want to hit Downer's this coming Friday (29th)?

Anyone going tonight?????

Just checked the weather and it looks like possible storms so nope.

i was thinking about it... its only like 5 minutes from my shop, but i didn't feel like going there all dirty in my work clothes so i went home. I'm a party pooper. i saw all kinds a sweet cars drive by the shop on the way there the last 2 hours we were working too.

i think i might have next Friday off so if anyone wants to hit it up next week i will probably be there for sure.

I would be up for next Friday. Its looking like that will be my only day off next week. Will know closer to time.

Ok since Dora and her hubby are going to try to meet us at this who all would be interested in going. I am thinking find a place a little away from the downtown area and then we all cruise in together. If there is enough interest I can set it up.

ERR I guess I will need to try and get outta work a bit early

Do we have a meeting place/time yet? I need to plan what time we're leaving so we get there on time & don't have to kill too much time, at the same time...lol

Why Yes there is Dora!

Silly I meant for meeting up before & driving in together!

Do I need to referee ?

were meeting up at the Culvers and then driving together.
This may not work so well as it gets packed pretty quickly and finding a nice spot on the main strip is pretty rough. Don't plan on all parking together
