Gary,
Maybe you're referring to the Hawthorne? I think it's known under two names: Hawthorne Inn & Suites AND Monmouth Inn. Same place; same address..... 1200 West Broadway, just a few blocks West of the Square where the Monmouth Cruise is headquartered. The other hot place is the Super 8 at the North end of town.
I visited Mayor Brown a couple of weeks back and as we talked he received a phone call from the guys in Monmouth. For everyone's information, they have extended a warm invitation to all the Supercar Guys again. They have a spot reserved for these cars as they had in the past. If you've not attended the Monmouth Cruise you're missing one whale of a good time.
Steve Albert put together a great Friday night gathering in Macomb last year but it's a ton of work for one man and Steve has elected to pass this year. Thanks go to Steve for his hard work but we understand how much time it takes to pull this off. Still, we're looking forward to seeing Steve and Cathy again this year, wherever, but for this year, it's 'Back to Monmouth'!
Please make plans to attend the entire weekend in the Monmouth, LaHarpe and Macomb area the first weekend of August. Like they say on the USA network, "Characters Welcome!"
(Obviously, this includes Boje, Howie, Annie and Mr. Barnhart........... so, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!)
Cap't. Carl, see ya there.
