Its funny Madison was pretty good before, while all the surrounding streets are terrible. And they go and fix madison, must be because of the united center. The have a layer of blacktop down, and all the little stuff done, just waiting on final coat. And BTW Tom did John send you some pins for me?

The more we have meets/cruises/whatever for each area of Chicago, the fewer people there are to show up, and then it's more likely that no one will show up at all.

We were seeing a good 25 or so people at the monthly meets over the winter. Now that it's summer and more people should be out and about, we are lucky to hit 10... Weak.

It's Labor Day Weekend, of course traffic is going to suck. For that matter, any streets can suck in Chicago, just depends where you are when.

The meet at the Palace is right off 90/94, late enough that traffic isn't an issue. And they have free parking in the lot there.

We park all the cars around back. Usually there's only daves truck and a few other cars out front as they all get pulled in and out every night. You have probably seen mine a few times out that way
