~~The first year of the Dream Cruise I was ticketed by a Royal Oak police officer for having a bottle in a paper bag. I was less than happy, but then realized it was a "Joke" ticket, no kidding printed by the City of Royal Oak for the Dream Cruise. There isn't any more joking by the police about drinking. We had walked so driving wasn't an issue, but in any event it would be a real ticket now.
~~Our group wil have ONE parking space to divide us from the Chrysler Exhibit. In the public's mind we are part of the Chrysler Exhibit unless their trailer's back is to us. With in a few spaces (if we keep growing in head count) will be the Rock radio station WCZX and the other side of us is the Grand Nationals, gas race cars about the size of a very large shoe box. People come and go sitting in the little grandstand watching the cars race. I know we will keep our car locked, alarm on even with the top down. There are all kinds of people who attend with various levels of hygine and manners. I know most of the cars shown are locked windows up or the owner is standing there watching with polishing cloth in hand. We can, as a group, watch each others cars.
~~FP (and anyone else who has one) you will need stands for the banner.
~~ Any large intake of drink may not be in your own best interests. There isn't a bathroom provided with this site. We may spend up to 3-5 hours there. Would you want me to see if a local business wants to work out a deal for use of their restroom? I haven't any idea what the going rate is for toilet rental. But at an additional $5.00 per car some business could make money and we would have a clean place within walking distance. It is pretty easy for us to go west on 13 mile road, advoiding the knott of cars on Woodward, to get to a place where you could use a restroom which would be clean and hadn't had thousnads of people going through it that day. Getting the car out of the lot to do this might prove to be a big hassel.
