Default Northside of Chicago

So... holler up guys, who's around and is there anything cool going on anymore? I see that guy with the white WS6 and the big exhaust tips once in a while since he lives by me.

I heard that Superdawg (sp?) is car cruise friendly again.

I'm by Montrose and Western but am moving to Addison and Western in a few weeks. And yes I keep the cars at the house LOL.

There is snow on the ground John...WTF are you looking for meets and cruises in the winter?

Photo's is hit or miss, general miss. But there are some decent north side events at Meijer on Sat's if I recall correctly.

That's as original as building a 20 year old Mustang.

Meijer = Schaumburg = Too damn far for a N'sider who works.

Hmm maybe I'll check out Superdawg when nice weather comes back...

My friend lives about 1 block away from that intersection **** that neighborhood. I was there working on his car one day and it took about 20 minutes to drive just over 2 miles to the auto parts store. And it wasnt rush hour either.

Having lived on the north side, SS > NS. No doubt. (Except when it comes to bars and women. OK, maybe the NS is better to visit.)

Hell no. It's december. We'll get back to you in April.

I try to avoid the city of Chicago as much as possibile. Too many people/too much traffic. But Superdawg is close to me, we could have some gatherings there. Not much space for cars though, unless we only get like 5-8 people.

Bigger parking lot = better.
