We gotta get Photo's going again. It was a great spot, till all the rice started showing up. But these days the rice is gone, and now nobody seems to go there anymore. So now it's time to fill the lot back up with some decent cars.

Pro2low..... I was a Photo's regular for many, many years. I only recently stopped going because turnout has been so poor. The show was at the older Photo's in Mt. Prospect. I've never been to the new one in Palatine before.

ProjectCamaro.... the address is 1706 E Kensington Rd in Mt. Prospect, IL 60056. It's at the northeast corner of Wolf Rd. and Kensington Rd.

I would LOVE to start getting some good saturday night cruise/show nights set up at Photos again. Back in '99-02 that place would be PACKED with muscle cars, new and old. Often the show would spill into the parking lot across the street as well. Always a big group of F-bodies, including usually about 10 or so of our RPM F-bodies. I still had my red WS6 back then. I miss those days. Back in '03 a lot of rice started showing up and the good cars started to leave. But in '05/'06, the rice is gone and the good stuff hasn't come back yet. I'd love to see that place like it was at it's height again.

All we need is some good weather and we'll have to set at date.

Last time I went there was probably '02, maybe early '03.

That my hope, I'd love to see that place get like it was in '99-02. Used to be a damn cool show. And just when your thought the night was over, the flamethrower cars would show up at the end. Good times. Too bad you didn't have your WS6 back then, you woulda loved the Saturday night events we used to have.

I may be down for photos. They used to get together south by steak and shake in Orland park. It totally got ruined. Had some nice cars there too. I think alot of the problems started with the ricers. I seen one dumbass almost hit a kid because he was trying to show off his shitbox accord! He almost got his *** kicked! You guys are right Ricers ruin everything!!!!

We need a sign that says "no ricers allowed!"
