Being the middle of September and we are still enjoying 80 plus degree weather in Chicago, I decided to drop by my favorite cruise night in all of Chicago, the Mount Prospect Lions Club BluesMobile Cruise Nights!
Week in and week out they put on a great show, including live entertainment and a wide variety of cars!
The past weekends cruise night happened to be ’70s and ’80s night, which I’m partial to since it is my generation. While there was still a strong showing of cars from all generations, it was great to see so many cars you usually DON’T SEE!
I’m going to try and make as many remaining shows as my schedule allows, I suggest you do the same too!
They always give me a great parking spot at the show!Tonight Only Jake and Elwood BluesWho’s the U-Boat Captain?Beautiful Buick! ’59 I believe.’74 Monte Carlo.
