Pottstown, Pa cruise night
Most people have probably never heard of Pottstown, but it was at one time considered the "Cruising Capital of the East" by a couple of car mags. Not much to do out here, so meeting on High street was it. Hanging out with friends and picking up girls. I enjoyed it through a good portion of the 80's and into the 90's (yes I'm that old :mad until the city clamped down on it and turned it into a ghost-town.

It has been making a comeback to some degree for the last year or so and now there is a Facebook group dedicated to it and sponsering cruise nights. It looks like the next big one is scheduled for September. Here's the FB link if anyone is interested: High Street Cruise Nights | Facebook

The wife and I took the kids out last year to show them what we used to do. What a flashback. At any rate, if anyone is into it when it comes around I'm less than a mile off the strip and was thinking of possibly throwing something together at my place beforehand, but at this point it's just a thought. There's a sweet, restored 1930's garage directly across the street from my place that may be a good group photo op: Clicky here

Here's what High street looked like in the 90's. Three miles of four lanes packed with tons of nice cars...

Where's Pottstown you may ask? About an hour northwest of center city Philly. Google my friends, Google...

I've been keeping an eye on the "High Street Cruise Nights" Facebook page, but there have been no updates for a while. Supposed to be some time in September, but?
