Stop in for a cup of coffee


My neighbor behind me had a motor home and asked me if he could buy some gas... I refused...

If I siphoned it all out of the cars, I could get to the middle of the state where they had power and gas...

I remember that Thursday, I was without power for four days and I was on my cell phone to my dad in Chicago telling him that I was planning on coming home until the power came back on, when I noticed the neighbor across the street's front porch light on...

I went inside my house and tried - and the lights came on!!!

So I told dad that I wasn't coming, as it was the weekend of the Woodward Dream Cruise and was going to stay for the cruise...

If the power had not come on, there wouldn't have been much of a cruise that year... One place even made up some shirts for the cruise that said, "2003 Woodward unplugged" and sold out of them by dinner time on Saturday.... :D


Even though the Dream Cruise is officially for Saturday, many of the locals start cruising a week before... It's one of the largest cruises in the country

Today, the Woodward Dream Cruise is the world’s largest one-day automotive event, drawing 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars each year from around the globe...
