We can find something better to do on a Friday night than that abandoned shopping center. I also doubt it's started yet, if they are even still having it.

Spoken in true PFrank fashion.

They definitely will be having it as its one of the biggest cruise nights in the Country despite the fact its help in an empty parking lot. I enjoy Rolling Meadows but not nearly as much as I enjoy the cruise nights in the Villages such as Downers Grove (Friday), Lombard (Saturday), etc.


They usually start at the end of April and my guess for this year would be around April 23rd.

There has to be another close town or maybe we should choose a town and start one.

Well some may see it that way, but want to let folks here know that they have a pretty good well established Friday night cruise night, with lots of sweet cars and lots of people walking around , and its not in an abandoned parking lot.

I enjoy the small town down town cruise nights (Cary, Barrington etc), problem is you have to get there so early to get a spot. Last time I went to Wheaton I spent 45 minutes looking for a place to park and ended up going to Rolling Meadows.

Too bad having such a late start when the weather really turned great early this year.

Thanks for the info Bob!
