I haven't been in Arizona All my life
but i do remember cruising
down town Phoenix ....Central Ave. in the mid 70's
Little pockets of car Types would gather in the
Parking lots along Central...the Chevy Guys, Ford Guys
T bucket guys you get the idea.
you would park for awhile cruise for awhile
stop at Mc Donald's for a burger. and head home by 10
but something happened. (something always does)
Kids started causing property damage and Business owners
(that had the ear of the city council) had the city pass
a NO CRUSE ORDINANCE
so the show moved to Metro Center (drive around n park with places to eat)
sounds good! Well
private property was also destroyed and so was the Metro Center Cruise night.
so the story goes like this. A few can ruin it for ALL
Parking lot shows Are something New. (to me) I know of some civilized areas
in the United States where people STILL CRUISE ...Park.... Talk and if someone
makes a mess they clean it up.These Kids Know better. They work (real work)
Not live off Mommy n Daddy and are handed everything. they Say Yes Sir n No Sir
and are given respect because they have shown respect. So with that said.
Why would you expect the Kids around here to clean up after themselves
when Mommy still makes their bed and cleans up after them?
I'm not saying their ALL like this ...but Allot are in this group
of tuner tots are. hahahaha Tuner tots I made that up

When I was a teen in the late 60's cruising was driving and in a small town the cruise was Main Street. There was a lot of stupid stuff going on there and lets face it I was in the middle of it all. In the early 70's I lived in Denver (if you were there you would remember the 16th street cruise, the Colfax cruise and the Broadway cruise every Friday and Saturday nite) with 3 cruises. Lots of stupid stuff including breaking windows, burn-outs and drags, trash, fights and public urination. Fortunatly I was a little older and a lot wiser and was not a participant, and for the pissing........well, a very dark alley. Well, have things really changed? Some of the biggest complainers at the cruise nites should throw no stones. The 91st cruise was a good one and considering the location you would have to expect some funny business, thanks to those who ran it as long as they did. Times have changed or have they stayed the same. A few bad apples (tuners) don't spoil the bunch. MOVE ON.

Rick, when they are talking about cruising back then, they meant in cars and not your Red Radio-Flyer wagon with your moms singer sewing machine motor bolted in it lol. If I am not mistaken, wasn't the only thing that hung out on Colfax was the Hookers, Pimps and Johns? So what one were ya and what were you really doing in those very dark alleys HMMMMMM?
