Default Snake Alley

An interesting street in Burlington Iowa. I was back home for my 50th HS reunion and drove down this street.

Certainly looks more fun to drive on than to live on...

I went with some friends to the fall car show in Burlington. We then filled the cut backs with cars and took photos. A cool place and an interesting photos. I didn't have my camera so I didn't get any pics.

Was your car at a house on West Ave along with a red C5?

I live in Wever, if that was your car I saw it for several days, I honked. LOL

We purchased a dog (Poochon) from a breeder in Burlington last year. I didn't have the Vette at the time, but the breeders were telling us about this road. We never did find it, so I appreciate you sharing the picture so I know what I missed.

Cool street - bet that design puts the halt to speeders.

I saw a couple of C-5s while in town, and I did go down West Avenue several times. If I heard you honk, I'm sure I waved if you were in a Vette. My grand parents owned a farm near Denmark so I'm very familiar with Weaver and Jollyville hill. (very tame nowadays)
