My friend lives in that area. Always talking about Dearborn St. Says there's plenty of car activities in the area. Recently he joined a local chapter of the GTOAA.

Thanks a lot HALFWAY. I’m going to be here until mid April, so I’ll be taking in a bunch of those shows.
No more northern winters for me.

There are some good shows and cruises in the Tampa/St. Pete/Kisssimmee corridor as well.

If you're headed to the Tampa area, let me know. My brother and I can show you our 4 SSJs and his 71 4-speed GP.

Went to the Five Guys show on the 15th, maybe 30 or so vehicles, NO Pontiacs. But it was nice to get out of Northeast weather for a few days!

That Tornado touched down 5 miles from my house. I heard 38 mobile homes were hit. Fortunately there where no fatalities from what I hear.

Yup, that was an interesting day. I lost several fence panels, but that was all.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
