Exclamation Woodward Dream Cruise 2009 Aug 15th

Just wondering since this is about a month away on the weekend of 8/15, who plans to go this year and is it worth a long drive, if you have never seen it?

Actually I fly home for two weeks and we drive my Dad's '79 Camaro or his '64.5 Mustang down on Woodward every night, usually in the Royal Oak area. The car shows and activities have already started up there, it just peaks on Dream Cruise weekend, it's insane!

We have just been doing a Camaro & Firebird Cruise every morning since 2000 with our Club and in 2004 we invited anyone with a camaro or firebird to join us and we started parking in this spot in 2004. We want to get as many camaro and firebirds to come out and hangout as we can. Plus it's FREE so it's like a big cruise-in all day.

75 is completely open now. There were ways to get around it on side streets, but unless you knew the area, it was tricky.

Awesome, I don't know the area all that well but did end up getting off that stupid 375 I think it was that took me half way to Chicago and took the side streets to get back on 75 south thanks to the gps on my iPhone but it still took forever. I have been from my home in Cleveland to Detroit more then 20 times so I know the basic layout but shutting down 75 to get to the northern burbs of the big d really fucked me up. Thanks for the info.

No problem. 275 can get you around it too.
But no worries, you will be fine coming in.

Actually I have another question...where are the best bars/clubs to go to at night? I've been to a few somewhere around I think 7 mile and livernois...I saw a club in Pontiac that looked like it was just opening last time I was up there that looked like a good spot, but is there a strip somewhere that has a bunch of bars close to each other?
