What street/City did you cruise in High School?

Speedchangesyou,
Thanks for the kind words....Like your LS motored ride! My 6.0 keeps on rolling along!

 

Back in the 60's there was no shortage of places to cruise in Portland, Or. It just depended on whether you cruised to pick up chicks, or set up a race.
We cruised downtown on Broadway for socializing, and for eating/cruising it was Yaw's in NE Portland, Scotty's Drive-in on Sandy Blvd. or the Speck on 50th and Powell.
If you wanted to get a good race going you cruised 82nd Ave. as that's where most the serious races took place, or were set up. Some great racing at Delta Park long before it was a legitimate drag strip. Every Tues. night until the cops showed up and told us to break it up and go home!

 

May Co. Mall in N. H'lywd was hugely popular on Fri-Sat nights

 

I used to cruise Denver in the late 70's.. Went to Scotchman Drive in and had a pic of my car on the wall inside....71 Mustang grande with Halibrands and a an orange body with flames....And a leather top not vinyl real leather dyed a deep chocolate brown....with Shelby style header and side pipes...

 

Main and 2nd streets roswell new mexico

 

Well my best friend Mike & I cruised Liberty Rd , Reistertown Rd , Rt 40 in Catonsville , Marrriottsville Rd and all the side streets that we could find the women on ! We drove around in my 69 Dodge Super Bee drinking Budweiser and listening to Led Zeppelin ! Had some street racing along the way as well and ran across some lonely women in their cars too !
This was all in Baltimore County , MD. We also went into Balto. City because the brothers couldn't tell how old we really were so we go served that way then got the hell out of that bar ! We used to all go to the Drive-in on Saturday evening either at the RT 40 drive in or the Glen Burnie drive in
Those were the best times !
