Pavilions Cruise 3/24/2018

[Xplantdad]

Pavilions rules are clearly posted for all to read on the side of the building near the drive thru. These have been the rules for as long as I have been going there (2004?).

For instance, up until 4pm (I think it doesn't apply during auction weeks) you can park-and save a spot on either side of your legally parked car. The folks I hang with primarily...get to the cruise between 8:15-8:30 am, as it's "first come, first saved" up until 4pm. We all park and sit together. There are days when we can't-and it's no biggie.

There are only two rows that are off limits to most folks. First is Corvette row-only Corvettes (any year is okay in this row) can park there. The second row is the row behind that, which is club row-which rotates every week to a different manufacturer. One weekend it's Oldsmobiles, the next Mopar, etc. This coming weekend it's Desert Derelicts turn-as Rick noted above.

Some of the other cruises (67th Ave for example in Peoria) allows folks to save unlimited spots and there is no time limit as far as I know. Rick may have a better idea-as I don't often go this this cruise, even though it's only 5 minutes from my house.

I'm aware of the rules and the club row stuff, I've been attending since 2005. Unfortunately these shenanigans are going on well past 4pm now. It was nearing 6pm when there were cones in front of spots. I took it upon myself to move it so someone could park. If you think I sound bad, you should hear what some of the group at 67th and Bell say about the Pavilions, lol. I think CC Riders signature location of Spoiled Bratsville sums up the general thought from most I've talked to. I attend 67th somewhat frequently ever since Nancy started it, as I have friends not far at 67th and Happy Valley, and we've never had an issue with parking, knock on wood.

Doesn't matter to me which one I go to since I simply go East or West when I hit town. I still enjoy the Pavilions and love to attend. I just hope this stuff doesn't go too far to the point the longest running cruise is no more. They have a great thing going that we all enjoy, would hate to see it ruined.

I've heard what the folks at 67th have to say-to each his own. Anything past 4pm and spots being saved, just go get the McDonalds folks.I have to hand it to them, they do a great job-and have been for a while.

I know quote a few folks at 67th, but most of my friends are at Pavilions, so that's where I "hang".

Who do you see? The restaurant manager?

I suspect as it's always been, that once things warm up in the next month or two, it won't be all that bad anyway. Most won't even come out until towards sunset. When it's hot it's pretty easy to find parking.

Ask for Wendy (LOL @ a McDonalds) she's there every weekend. She's a really nice lady

Wendy? Really? LOL 10-4 thanks for that.
