2014 Back to the Bricks in Flint

[Ms Grumpy]

Ric, I only live an hour away from BttB and I still haven't made it up there. I have many friends who tell me all about it, and I know I should go. But something always seems to come up. Then there is the fact that I only live 1 mile away from 12 mile and Woodward, and as all the locals know, the week before the Woodward Dream Cruise is always the best. I have been in the Friday night car cruise in Berkley for many, many years and see a lot of my neighbors lining the streets as we cruise down 12 mile in a parade that has more than 300 classic cars.

Last year was the first year that I didn't sit out on Woodward. I didn't want to deal with the rude people who put out their canopys a week before the cruise to "claim their spot" and they don't even have a friggin car. So, since I lived so close I would take someone out for an hour, come home (to the air conditioning cause it would get pretty hot sitting in the August heat), cool off and then go out again. I think I had more fun last year than in years past.

This year I have to work BttB, or at least a day leading up to it, into my schedule. I think it would be well worth the trip. It would be awesome if we could get the Michigan Chevelle Club guys to come up there. I know that Chuck usually does Woodward the day of the cruise. Not sure if Ken comes out, haven't asked him.
