What street/City did you cruise in High School?

Colby ave in Everett Wa, great times and a few buddies went to jail.

 

all the local eat n parks in the pittsburgh area

 

Toronto, Ontario lost many hours on Yonge Street and Yorkville Avenue.

Good times, good memories.

 

Central Ave, Great Falls Montana

 

I lived out in the country. But when we "thought" we had something for the fast guys we cruised Summer Av in Memphis

 

Whittier Blvd 1968-1973. It used to start at Colima and you'd flip a u-turn at Painter until the cops closed it down and forced everyone to drive a mile to get back into the lanes.

Drove everything from a Kaiser Frazier to a '70 Chevelle SS 396 to some VWs and Brit cars to boot. A little bit of eveything.

Met my wife at Bob's Big Boy Feb 15th 1973. Coming up on 40 years.

 

It was in the 50s in buffalo n.y. on bailey ave from main to geness str

 

US-31 in Greenwood, Indiana 1964 to about 1970. Jerry's Restaurant and the Kitchen Drive-in on US-31 and the Dog N Suds downtown. Used to see Dickster there in his '65 Comet Hi-Po... If nothing was happening we would sometimes go to Indy west side to the Pole or east side to Al Green's. The Kitchen and Jerry's are long gone, but the Suds still hosts a cruise-in every Saturday in Summer.

meangreen, I live around the corner from the old cruising area. Just up the hill on Howard rd. Do any street racing? My older brothers did a bunch of it during that time frame on 31.

 

San Diego late 50's early 60's El Cajon Blvd. Oscars El Cajon to Oscars on El Cajon Blvd. Hour Glass Field late 50's Otay Mesa. My old man said I got my education at Jack in The Box Lemon Grove. Federal Blvd. was the spot for drag racing during the week. Saw the first flat head with a 4 barrel 1958. Gas was 30 cents a gallon. That was bitchen fun back then.
In the 60's it was Mc Kinery in Modesto.

 

When I got home from the Army in '69 I usta go to Medford to visit my folks and younger bros and sister...Lotsa cool cruising there alright.
Riverside down past the 2nd hand junk store [had a monkey in a cage] and over a couple blocks to central and up to Bobs drive in resturaunt...hang a bit and back to Central..
I bought my 57 Pontiac at M&M motors [off the back row] in medford on leave in '68. Put some chromies on it, jacked it up a bit and slid a 389/4 speed into it...cruised Medford and Portland both...and The Dalles [my home town] with that car.

 

Robson Street in Vancouver.

Street racing was Deltaport, Boundary and Marine, Horseshoe Way, Viking Way, Tilbury, and Boundry bay Airport. Man those were fun times.

Late sixties...north of Detroit....Woodward Avenue and Telegraph Road were my racing places. Sometimes I-75 if we wanted to go top end.

 

Lived off of Bailey ave, on Hewitt ave. in the late 40's. Good soda shop on Bailey was the Garden of Sweets,good times

 

JFK in Dubuque, IA

 

We called it The Ave. Yakima Avenue, but since it has been shut down to cruising. Glad it was so busy when I was a kid. Lotsa fun.

Pops used to cruise the Renton Loop. He drove a new 64 impala ss 409 (340hp) 4speed back then.

Federal ave., Mason City, Iowa. from Hasse's drive in ot the Hop drive in and back and back My wife of 51 years was a carhop at The Hop, that's where we met.

 

Garland road, Northeast Dallas, mid 60's.
South on Garland road to the spillway at White Rock lake, turn around, North to Charco's, through the parking lot across the street to the Prince of Hamburgers.
Sunday at White Rock lake was like a small Goodguy's every weekend in the summer.
South on Peavy to the Dairy Queen at Lakeland and Ferguson.
Street racing was hot and heavy around the Casa Linda shopping center. Lots of muscle cars, a few nice rods. By 65-66 the muscle car was dominating the scene.
I'm always surprised at the number of folks I went to school with that still live in the old neighborhood.

 

Cruised Harbor occasionally mostly around Atlas and up around Dizzyland.
The OC Brotherhood joined up at the Alpha Beta parking lot at Brookhurst, or "Hold'er and Ball". The marked 1/4 mile was on La Palma east of Imperial. Damn I drove a lot back then.......

 

GREAT TIMES
Cruzin Hot Rods 1967 to 1970 Harbor Blvd in Orange County / Whittier Blvd in LA County, Southern California
The Cruise times with Associated Van Club of Newport Beach Ca. 1969-1971 were Great Times.
Just saw some of the old Vans at the MOON EYES Christmas Show
What's up with the bald heads and gray hair ??? getting older

 

Cruised on Main Street, Newark, DE in the late 70's in a 69' Camaro SS. Street Raced on Elkton Road outside Newark, DE and late night on Front Street, Philadelphia, PA when dragsters used to sneak out of trailers and the crowd stood on the median strip!

 

Home of Shiner Beer, Shiner, Texas, cruised in my 55 Chevy, and sometimes I would sneak out Dad's full house flatty 46 Ford PU. Did some riding in Gonzales, Yoakum and Victoria occasionally. Constable told us we could drag race as long as it was out of town. I was the only one rumbling through town 11:30 pm after work at Circle K.
