Cruisin' for a Bruisin'

Back in my day kids were still cruising Chester. Of course it wasn’t like it was in the 50’s. Mostly it was a bunch of dirty head bangers and their skanky girlfriends in tight fitting, poorly designed 80’s clothes. Nonetheless, every now and then we would take a trip down the strip to make fun of people and scout for cute boys. We actually found some once.

Cruising down Chester came to an end with the 80’s, so the kids moved to a new location. According to an article in the paper today, “cruisers often bounce back and forth between Ming Ave and Niles.” The cops have been trying to clamp down on the kids and issued several citations this weekend. According to the article, “about 100 vehicles” filled the Copeland's parking lot, while many more gathered down the street in the Zody’s parking lot.

The image of hundred of kids cruising Ming Ave in front of my old high school makes me laugh. I think I’ll grab my son and go for a little drive tonight. Just for fun.
