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.:mrgreen: Recently added or amended info.

i noticed the list doesn't include streets of woodfield on friday nights. It is unfortunately sometimes a younger crowd but car draw well over 100 cars on a weekly basis. Plus I'm there every other friday with the limos anyways
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It's been replaced by the Tuesday night cruise at Culver's across the street..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.

We sit in the lot between Big Bowl and Maggianos. It's not an organized cruise but it still draws attention from close to a thousand people with well over 100 cars and probably 15 different clubs. It's just a place to show off
And the V-techs don't have that big of a strangle hold anymore. We usually sit with 10-15 old school muscle cars. But then again our cars draw a different crowd. We sit in front of dicks and take pretty much that entire lot.
My company will also be holding a sponsored cruise weekly in Bartlett when our building and parking lot construction is complete. Will probably be on Wednesday nights starting at 6pm. Ill give more details when the time comes.
The Mejies in Rolling Medows is great. I went several time last year. For get the Tuners at Streets drive down Golf to Mejeris. There is easy over 200 cars every week. Loads of places to walk to eat and shoping for the wifes. This year im not doing as many shows as i have been but i will make it out to this one at least once.
Did someone say Portillo's!!! (I love the beef/sausage combo) Man I love that place, I have to go every time I'm in, which is very often. I will have to watch this thread for the future.
It's encouraging to see organized cruising going on all over the place!
Where I moved from, cruising was deemed illegal. They even had city signs posted up saying that if you were seen in the area more than twice you could get ticketed!
Guys another spot is Sundays at Uncle Larry's Ice Cream in Addison it's right next to the Marcus theater on 53/Lake usually 40 cars but if we overrun it with LX's that would rock.
BUMP
Oh man talk about good ice cream too... lol
I made it out to this a couple times last year, never showed just observed, i did talk to the guy inside though and he said he would love to see something like that, i think we should do it once atleast.
On a side note anything going on this week or weekend??
