What street/City did you cruise in High School?

So, you grew up in Livonia?? I did as well, still here. Lori Bates was a classmate of mine. We'd head there after the bars closed as well....maybe 1980-1990 or so. Those counter ladies put up with alot of shit from the drunks for sure. I went to Bentley.

 

Don't forget Busches on So. Tac. Way and racing was done on Point Fosdick in Gig Harbor before it grew up.

 

Must be that age thing with me again. One of those streets was State

Sound like a mightly short cruise for you guys in the 90s! Used to live at the end of EastBay drive, up above the lumber mills.

 

Nice, my dad grew up on that side of town over on Brawne street. State goes West 4th goes East. They dont cruise at all anymore.

 

Oh and can't forget cruzin Point Defiance park for hours on end every sunny weekend.There was a guy with a gasser style competition orange corvair with a 427 if I remember right.Miss those days

 

We used to cruise main in Garden city Ks in the late 70's and then I moved to Canon City Co. and cruised main there too until the mid 80's when I joined the navy

 

Acushnet Ave. New Bedford,MA in the mid to late 80's. It was THE place to cruise and check out fast cars and girls to match.

 

Must have passed you, drove Colorado Blvd from Bobs to Henry's, 61 until the Navy got me in '64, past the Powerine station where we all gathered to brag about how fast we were...had a yellow 30 roadster with an Olds....the real heros (or fools, take your pick) blasted down the alley in back of Bob's, until the cops staked it out....

 

North Main St in Walnut Creek, Ca

 

Yo Dude" Ocean and "H" for me also maybe a couple years earlier 1963-1967. First car was 55 Chevy Belair, sold it to a guy that made a Gasser out of it and painted shit yellow. Last time I was there which was 20 years ago it was still in town parked on "A" street. Then had a 57 Chevy, Forrest Green with E/T Mags, Black tuck and roll, until the summer of 67 when Uncle Sam took me. My good buddy Art Eldridge used to run Lompoc in a 55 Ford that he built up until he left in September 67 to go play with uncle Sam. I think it was Dark Blue or two tone I have picture of it somewhere. I used to work at the 76 station on Ocean and A in 66. Also, the Car wash down by the shopping center and then at Vandenberg. Got out of the Navy in 1970 had 64 Goat that funny looking red persiman or something like that and a 455 Grand Sport White with a Black Vinal Top. Left there in the early 70's for the last timebut was driving a Falcon Gasser, Dark green, with Built 327, 13:1's, Isky 502, with a Muncie. Also cruised Santa Maria and Santa Barbara and Ventura, and Camarillo. Sounds Like you are the same age as my little brother he used to drive a 57 Chevy Wagon also Forrest Green.

 

I know it may be hard to believe, but we used to tear up the streets of Minneapolis, back in the 80s! There were lotsa mullets, chicks with acid washed jeans, & blue camaros everywhere! We'd hit the lakes, as well Hopkins strip, n central n Lowry, shitloads of muscle cars, & I got sick of it! Until now! We go "cruise" now, & I park my model a, get a bag of popcorn, & wish I could go "back"!! Nobody would be cought dead In a Honda except some hippie! & we used to beat them up! Ahhh memories!
