Cruise Nights and Things

Ok, I'll admit that I'm not a cruise night type of person. Either due to the time frame or location, I just don't see the big deal. Some are good, some aren't, simple. Most have started or will be soon.

Changes are in abundance with an addition or 2 and some locational changes and deletions to others.

First the deletions and contrary to a popular magazine and its adjoining web site the Maine Coastal Cruisers monthly cruise in at 5 Points in Biddeford is no more. Because of the work involved, the cost involved and a change in the clubs officers they have decided to get back to the Cruiser portion of their name and call it a done deal. The Thursday night Cruise In listed for TJ's Pizza in Biddeford is also done and gone with that one being moved to the Drydock Restaurant on the same night.

CHoP is another locational change and will now be held on the other side of the highway with its own food for those that do not wish to partake in crossing Rte 100. I never realized that Mr. Stuart Pidd had a controlling interest in CHoP.

Now there is a new kid on the block up in Turner at the Landmark Restaurant on Rte4 (formerly the Chic-A-Dee. I know food is better and the owners father in-law is a Car Guy and the Property Owner is another Car Guy. The distance from the residence of the Dancing Dipstick is a stone throw yet I understand he is not participating as the blithering DJ.

Another that never gets much attention is up in Woodstock at the Woodstock Oil Company parking lot on 6/20, 7/18, 8/15. It is a hike but it is still in the borders of our fine state.

Which raises a Question. Why do we travel 3 hours to a Show in our state when we could go an hour to New Hampshire for the same $25.00 Cheap Ass Trophy.
