Woodward Dream Cruise 2016 - Saturday, August 20, 2016

[aotmfilms]

Since it's almost a 300 mile drive from the Chicago area, I do not think there will be many (or any) last minute attendees
going from this area to WDC 2016, since our club will drive either Thursday or Friday, so they can be 'awake' on Saturday
to be able to sit in traffic (on purpose) on Woodward. A few of us have done the trip starting at 1am on Saturday morning
and arrive on Woodward just in time for breakfast, but that makes for a really long day (not recommended).

Some of the local owners have mentioned they would like to find a new parking area that has more shaded areas, either
for the cars or at least for the owners to sit in the shade, to watch the cruisers go by. Not sure about "shaded" availability,
but the MB location offers a decent shaded area for owners to sit, up until about mid-afternoon, then direct sun until sunset.
We have had sun and hot weather more often than not, on the third Saturday of August, for the past decade or so.

I feel your pain I am the same way going to DMCMW. So I hear ya!

Just got off of the phone with Bloomfield, they are packed, only two open spaces at this time. the term "like a hoe on dollar day giving out .50 cent coupons comes to mind".

I did let the gentleman know that we would be interested for 2017 and send me anything I need to fill out. Gave him my email address.

I will recon some other areas of Woodward that meet what you have above. I do have M-brew that may be interested. I will grab the D and go there tomorrow and meet them. I will post pictures as well on Friday for your viewing. I have to ask if that street is blocked off during the Cruise. It is shaded.

They are an upscale pub about 50 feet off of Woodward on Vester Street in Ferndale.

The areas reconned will be on my page located in my signature in classic FB panoramic view so you can see how it is in a 180 view. I will also mirror this on Ohio's FB page, our page on here and Detroit Motor City's FB page.

Generally Ferndale sites are no or low cost (about $20) you are about the same distance as MB. I will also see how that ballfield has changed off of 13 mile and Woodward and shoot pictures for you guys/gals as well.
