In Savannah, Georgia we used to cruise on River Street, that was shut down. Then it moved to Tybee Island, which was eventually curtailed and it ended up in a shopping center parking lot, I do not recall the stores there though. I remember a Cook's, Wal-mart and most recently a Media Play occupying the anchor location at one time or another.

Florida, U.S.A. for now
My best friend and I did a modern version of the cruise in a way. We used to drive around town with no destination at all and visit friends and his horse or go to the movies and dinner. Nothing big.

Cruising at lunchtime in High School

In High School we had an open campus. Well, at lunch we would go cruising for 30 minutes, a bunch of guys cat calling and blasting James Browns' Living in America.lol So anyway this friend of mine had this four door Dodge Dart. And he would go out at lunch and everytime he would make a u-turn near the school this guy from school would run out of his house and throw eggs at the Dart. So I recommended that we get this psycho we know to go in the trunk of the car with eggs, water balloons filled with milk etc. then when he goes by Mike's house have Boris jump out.

So Boris gets all dressed up in camoflauge t-shirt, pants and a green bandana and hops in the back of the trunk. So, Tony drives slowly past Mike's house and sure enough Mike comes out with some eggs. Tony stops the car, Boris throws open the trunk lid and gives this blood thirsty primal scream. Mike turned whiter than his hair! Boris starts throwing the eggs and water balloons. Mike doesn't know what to do. Boris climbs out of the trunk puts Mike in a head log and gives him an egg shampoo, turns him around and kicks him in the glutus maximus.lol lol lol lol lol Mike never threw eggs at the Dart again.:D :D :D

That was hilarious. You really had to be there to appreciate the hilarity of the situation.
Linc does a mean James Brown imitation. :D

Cruising...

Friday and Saturday nights downtown Salem when I was teen-aged.

It was done in my best friend's 1956 Ford "Root Beer Brown with Gold Metallic Glitter" F-100 Pickup.

He ended up totalling the original one by getting hit by an Unlicensed Illegal Alien. :mad:

Then he restored a second one that sits in his garage to this day. It's close in color but it's just not the same.
