Good morning from Belleville IL area. I recently moved here. Looking to connect with car folks in the area and participate in shows, cruises and more. give me a shout. Thanks
Hello, I'm from Ofallon, IL which is about 15 minutes from Belleville. Just search for St. Louis Hamb members, there are quite a few of us on here. A couple times a year there is an automotive swap meet at the Belle Claire Fairgrounds on the south end of Belleville. There is also a large swap in Waterloo once a year and one at the Grizzley's stadium believe. Usually there's quite a few weekly meets around the area, Dandy Inn is one that comes to mind. Chuck a Burger in St. Charles MO is also a popular spot to meet. Welcome to the area!
I'm a garage grunt, don't get out much.... if your into metal work pm or email thru the website. I'm in Shiloh.
Welcome to Belleville, IL Justenuf. Which part of Belleville are you from? East/West? The swap meet Merge was referring to is on Nov. 14th at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds...Link to car shows/swap meets can be found below. Bookmark it! http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.cfm?club=lakerscarclub
Welcome to the midwest. Recently the city of Belleville had a downtown car showthat was well attended. The Fat Boys of Ill. are in the area,as are the Gear Jammers[older guys with a long active history since the 50s. The radius rods in Pocahantas put on a great free event every fall.With St Louis so close there is more to do than you can keep up with. There is a website listing events,but I cant remember the name,someone else surely will share.
Nice Cruise-In every third Saturday at Culver's on 157 in Collinsville. Just a few blocks North of 55. Usually draws a pretty good crowd and a wide variety of cars.
Welcome to the area . One of the other big cruises not mentioned is the Fenton cruise, first fri of month . I think march to Oct so it over for season but draws over 500 pre 79 vehicles. With central location here it's easy to hit swaps /shows in Indy, Chicago, Nashville, Louisville. Our local track may be closing though .
welcome to the neighborhood. I think the chuckaburger in st charles is closed up. anyone been by there lately?
Upchuck in St.CHarles has been closed for a while now. Ryan is running the one on the rock road still , not sure how much longer it will last with all the new fast food joints popping in st.john now
Wow Belleville Il. I was born in that town! Just about everyone on Taft st. was my relation lived in Waterloo also. Out here in Kansas now.
Thanks for all for the info. Hope to catch up with you at the events/shows. Look for a grey primered 49 chevy 2dr and an old fart driving.
Welcome to the HAMB!!! Ahhhhh Godd ol' Bella Vegas!! I am quite familiar with that part of town. One of our owners lives in nearby Fairmont ****ty IL....We love goin to the Culvers out near you. Big night show/hangout. Our shop is located in Webster Groves in St Louis Co. Hit me up if ya want to get together or hang out.
