Photo's in DesPlaines (Wolf Rd. & Kensington Rd.) usually has a nice turnout week after week. Also, like Jeff said, Elmhurst and Wheaton are usually huge shows.

Strat's was effectively shut down last year by the local police. Too bad because it was my favorite place to go. Definitely one of your more "interesting" car shows. :boxing

I think Duke's in Bridgeview may have ended the shows as well, but I'm not sure.

Blue Top Drive-in on Rt41 in Highland Indiana, about 2 miles south of I-94. They have a bunch of cruise events every summer. Give out trophies, etc. There's some serious machines that park over there :)

Oh yeahhhhh :eek: Back in my H.S. days we used to cruise between "Dandy's" on Western Ave in Chicago heights and the Blue Top. :cheers: :cheers:

The Dog n' Suds in Homewood, which isn't there anymore, used to be another spot in those days.

Oh Gawd...you're not thinking of the riverwalk in Naperville? That place was a haven for punk highschoolers on Friday and Saturday nights. Thats why I use to cruise threw there when I had my Supra. :lol: Cops standing outside the firestation just waiting for something to happen. :yesnod:
