Chicagoland Cruise Spots

[Fireman512]

Well, since the weather looks like it's on the way up soon, I thought I'd get the early jump on where the local cruise spots are in our area. If there is a place that is wrong or left out, feel free to post it. I happened to copy this list from another website so I can't quite guarantee its accuracy. Our group is steadily increasing, so this list has enough spots on it for us to start hanging out on a regular basis. Recently added or amended info.

It's gonna be a busy summer :-)

[FastWagon]

You know what time they kick it off?

streets starts around 7 every friday. won't begin till around may though.

[elcobra44]

The whole Streets of Woodfield thing isnt really an organized cruise night.. Too many V-Techs for my taste..

This one doesn't exsist anymore: Carol Stream, ILScooby Red Hots - 185 S. Schmale in Carol Plaza, (southeast corner of North Ave. & Schmale) 630-752-0288. Starts at 6:30.

It's been replaced by the Tuesday night cruise at Culver's across the street.. Always a good turn out here.

Starts about the same time? If there are Vtechs around, then we have to show up to show them what real cars sound like!
