    I personally have no problem with this, and have participated in such activities at each of the 2 main shops in town.....however, you will only likely get about 4/7 of the people to show up at each of the shops that you would normally get at a neutral location. Realistically, do you think that Tufte and his crew would show up and hang out at Tintmasters or that Shane and his crew would go over to SLS? Yeah, me either.
    I disagree. Who is STILL in that divided mode? There might be a few people out there that hold on to the "us vs. them" shit but it's definately not 4 out of 7 people that would show up to the ricer meets anyways. That shit has nothing to do with 95% of us so why would we care if a meet is at either shop?

        I agree with alot of whats been posted on here but one thing does tick me off. I really disagree with kicking someone out or not letting them hang out because of what they drive. I don't give 2 shits if they drive a Chevette or a Ferarri. They should all have the opportunity to hang out. That is, until they give a reason for them to be asked to leave. But, it should be because of their actions not what they drive. That to me is Elitist.

            I think there isn't near enough parking area there.

              Too much space could & can lead to issues, people being stupid.. But a place to hang out..
              Just a thought though!

                    I hope you weren't referring to the last 'big' post I made...I wasn't suggesting it, I just said it's happened to me before.

                        Theres too much to read so I'll sum up what I'm thinking with what I've skimmed:

                        Last year I made it VERY clear to the police that we did not want to be associated with the moron crowd. Dubbsy specifically can remember that night at Kmart when I called the police and was actually on the phone for a decent amount of time stating my case, and talked equally as long to the officer that showed up. She was very understanding and appreciative, but she ultimately had to tell us to leave because of the no loitering signs. She actually cared that we had no place to go and understood we just wanted to hang out.

                        Anyway, I suggested 32nd Hornbacher's last spring because I knew the managers at the stores from working with them and they know my dad. The one time you guys got kicked out and I wish I was. I no longer work at any Hornbacher's so that is definately out of the question now. Too bad too because we could have had 32nd or 13th. The best way to get a parking lot to use after ~9pm or whenever is to be in contact with the owner/manager. There are a ton of new strip malls opening up and maybe thats something to look into, but remember this is something that requires our enforcement on rules. If we ourselves are making the complaints to the proper authorities, we will gradually gain respect. Regardless, it's not going to happen overnight...

                        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                          Well.. Like I stated, what about the information center on 45th St? It's a public place, not owned by any business as far as I know.. I've seen car-shows there before, nothing big or serious, but more-so a during the day get together..

                                    I was checking 'weather.com'; all Week it is supposed to be in high 30s, which is a huge jump from what we've been getting lately... waking up @ 8am or so and seeing it only 5-10 degrees sucks a lil bit!
