    I'm thinking Fuji needs to post another lot close to that same location... ;)

    Last couple weeks the one suggested in the OP has been slammed and decidedly unwelcoming. The bigger lot we did impromptu a couple weeks ago was nice, I'd be game for that.

    Bummer, I'm going to head up there in 1/2 hour or so on my way to a family shindig and just see if anyone is around. Judging by having absolutely no turn out in three weeks, I'm guessing there won't be anyone.

    Obviously this isn't working. I think it's a good idea to reopen the call for new locations.

    Yep, don't waste your time there anymore. No one seems to come there not even the members that have been on this forum a long time. We definitely need a new location.

    Well I caught Surly as he was leaving..
    I'm open to going West.. South even North... But not apple valley :nono:
    LOL

    Surly and I were thinking that we should find out where the Tuners hang out, just for entertainment...
    Go figure though they are not an organized group.

    I guess I do a fly over of the 494 and 94 corridors and try to find a better place?
    Baseball fields are getting a lot of action now. The parking lot at Horton was pretty full.

    I still see a bunch of the usual tuners hanging out at that asian market place in St. Paul. Not really worth the entertainment.

    SOrry guys I was buzy working on one of the cars for Brainerd, so I haven't made it out there..... However....

    Next week.... we can try HarMar. I saw a handful of vehicles there today while on route to get my H6 car.

    Lets try here; google maps.

    I'm down to try that location.

    What Black_Peter and I were talking about is I think a lot of the pull of Firestone was the ability to lounge around without getting hassled while watching everyone else act like douchenozzles and get hassled. ;)

    Oddly enough the douchnozzles don't post in forums:

    "Mad street racing action at XYZ tonight.."
    lol

    Harmar is cool. The stores should be closed so space should only be tight by the restaurants.

    Nice little turn-out! And it was at about 75% there to a usual Friday on University, with the other muscle cars parked in the lot and the idiots going by on Snelling. I'll definitely try to make it out more often, depending on work.

    Yup, I think that spot is a strong candidate. There's something to be said for the fact that another crew already setup shop there. It's not as "cozy" as firestone but it does have some of the same elements. I think it's more conveniently located for a lot of people too.

    Looking forward to giving it another go next week!

    I might stake out a spot by the staples, I think you still get the parade of cars coming and going on Snelling but we won't be all packed in with the Old Chicago customers... Anyone wants to hit my cell 612-520-sixteen thirty seven

    Kind of hit or miss so far since we're just starting to ramp up on this location. I'd say people are usually there until 9, some nights later. There is another club that's usually out there until 10 or so.

    There IS a conveniently located Old Chicago if people wanted to make it a later evening...
