It's a sad weekend here in Minneapolis. If you can make it out here this weekend, even if there’s still snow out you should come by and say goodbye.


It may have gone downhill over the past few years but allot of Hot Roding history has been through that lot. my mom even remembers cruising down there. Hopefully a new spot will open up soon.

Wish I had some money I would by the sign on Monday!

Thoughts? Memories?

A sad day indeed. Lots of memories.

I've been going there for 10 plus years now. I was so excited to bring the new girlfriend and nephew out there this summer. Kind of feels like a apart of my childhood being ripped away. It getting harder and harder to be a car person these days.

Many a good nights, even a few bad. I think I might even try and dig the mark out for Saturday night.

Are they planning on putting the Light Rail right in the path of the building?

The devalopers should have known better then to do that.
