Park on St Charles Road (north or south side of the street) around Elizabeth or Lincoln Street by the bank (it is on the south side of the street). Anywhere along there is a good spot. Try this [IMG][/IMG]

Default Good map and directions PAULIE WALNUTS and I'M IN!

Let's make this a nice TURN OUT and I'm in for sure and will get there very early around 4:30 pm but have to leave early around 7:30 pm.

Good map PAULIE thanks, but the more prime parking spots are from the bank (located about 2 blocks east of Elizabeth street, which is the street on the extreme western part of the parking spots). The more prime parking spaces in the middle of the show are from the bank and east of the bank up to TEXAS SYTLE BARBEGUE, which is about in the middle of the show and has GREAT BARBEQUE and drinks to! For those who arrive later, parking on the west edge of the show across from PRADA restaurant, about 1 block east of Elizabeth Street (on the north side of St. Charles) is the easiest place to find parking if arrivng later (after 6PM or so when parking starts to get very tight).

Sorry about the run on sentences but you know how use mouthpieces can be!

RWH (RANDY) you better show up buddy or we are going to send a couple of west side CAPOS over to snag you out of the house to answer to DON JOHNNY personally (and have little kids kick rocks towards your spotless vette for your punishment)! A little inside joke there.

Timmy Puchinelli-Why don't you surprise us old time CREW MEMBERS with your 3rd appearance at a car function all summer!

Jimmy you are right - all I remember is one time I parked on Lincoln south of St Charles They blocked off that street for a band and I had a hard time getting my car out of there. There were two other vets there and I'm not sure what happened to them....if I get the better part of my car polished out early in the day I'll see you tomorrow

I rolled past at a little past 5pm, and it was a very nice show. You guys were stopping traffic. I met someone I hadn't seen in a while, but already forgot his screen name, maybe someone can help me out. It was something like "matrixSC."

I took some crappy pics of his car on my phone. flash + daylight = SIN
