Default Need Cruise-In info

Unfortunately, due to previous obligations, the wife and I will be in Blooming Grove May 21-24 and will miss most of the CI. However, we have never been to the area and need some info on a nice place to stay with safe parking for the car. Wish we could stay for the weekend, maybe next year. Can't wait to see the NCM and take the factory tour. The parking/safety issue is a big deal for the car, and since that info isn't available on websites, I thought maybe you guys could make a few recommendations, as I have never been misled on the Forum. We WILL be at the drags on Thursday, wife wouldn't miss that for the world! Thanks in advance for any help!

One small correction....The town is Bowling Green, not Blooming Grove...

This town sees more Corvettes then Buicks. Almost any hotel on Scottsville Road and exit 28 is a safe hotel..I would not be concerned with parking issues...With 10,000+ Corvettes annually I would be surprised if you have any problems.

Here are the hotels that we recommend..

A great place to eat in the area is the Montana Grille on Scottsville Rd.. Exit 22 of I-65 and about 1.5 miles west on Scottsville Rd.
I was just there 2 days ago..... Very cool place

And no one will give you better info than Adam who posted above.

He is the "NCM GUY"

Hey Adam, the car behind mine in my sig pic coincidentally is Todd's Z06....

[QUOTE=Adam Boca;1559173144]One small correction....The town is Bowling Green, not Blooming Grove...

That's like the 5th time I've done that this week. We have to be back in Blooming Grove,TX on the 27th. Two BG's in one week has caused some confusion with the wife and I, thinking we were on the same page all the time. Anyways, thank you Adam for the help. It's good to know there are a few things I won't have to worry about on this trip.
Thanks Glennm27, I always need a good place to eat!!!
We can't wait to see the country, take some drives, and see all the other C5's on the road. Thanks to all you guys for having helpful and correct info every time!
