crusing in the chicago area

[moopeesir]

Hey Whats up Everyone?
I just moved here from the Milwaukee area to Chicago. What is up with no crusing strip. In Milwaukee we have several area's. Like On Hwy 100, it is so dope. We cruise in a popular area for a stretch of 9 miles, then turn around near red carpet lanes (north side of strip). The cops are not too bad. Due that there is so many dumb ass's with the cars that stick out. Like there is a group of winners driving this old's toeffeto with neon's on all the time. Please pull me over,please!! What a dumbie! OK, can anyone help me? I have been down here for 2 months and seen a lot of imports around. I am also looking for some areas where there might be some (umm) line them up sort of thing. If you know what I mean. I have been to auto boutic, wow what a rip off. Hope to hear back from someone. thanks.

From what I know (which aint much these days) thereare occasional meets/cruises at Woodfield sometimes, you just gotta know when. I know there are sometimes caravans down to Rt 66. If you wanna sorta sit and show off your ride, weekends at Rock n Roll McDonalds downtown (somewhere near Ohio, can't remember exact intersection) has a variety of cars, but a lot of times its more for the guys wit big body Chevy's, navigators with 24's etc. You catch a lot of bikes there too. There used to be occasional meets in Chinatown, just south of downtown, but that was stopped a while back. Cruise major streets in the burbs and you can find some. Movie theaters on weekends, clubs in (not to stereotype but...) Asian dominated areas. Or at least Asian clubs.

Sometimes you just gotta cruise on your own til you see a small group, then sorta tag along hoping they lead you to the hotspot.

I guess its all about being in the right place at the right time.

Near the incinerators by Chicago & Cicero, or Division & Cicero there is usually a lot of street races. Just head over to that area on Friday and Saturday nights and look for the racers and ricers. Follow em around and they'll lead you to the right spot.
As far as cruising strips, there really aren't any in the city. But there are a few places where people gather regularly to just hang out and check out each others rides.

I been out to the incinerators, its pretty crazy with the cops chasing people. 20 mins all back racin until the po-po's come again. Also have seen some crazy accidents out there - all by people trying to show-off. Why not just go to the track?

Most people out by us cruise over to 159th and Harlem Ave and go South on harlem to Steak n' Shake, everyones up there lately.

Okay maybe this is just a so-Cal thing(Was from LA SFV represent )....but cruzin' to me meant not necessarily driving fast...but just driving for driving sake....and if that's what you mean then Lake Shore Drive is always a nice road to cruise...almost a freeway on the lakefront but watch out near North I think...there's a sudden S curve with a concrete barrier...Or Lincoln AVe is always good to cruise...from Peterson on up to Lawrence...you can always see some tricked out cars there....you can always go Golf Road from Old Orchard Mall there is a long stretch of forest preserve with no places for cops 2 hide...as long as there's no traffic have gone 80mph on that road...or there is Sheridan road leading north...lot of nice twists and turns but you have 2 be more careful with cops and rich people pulling out in Jags, and Benz's...and they don't race .... ....hope that helps...

There is also Busse Woods in Elk Grove, usually on the weekends its pretty packed. Tons of people doin' burn outs trying not get busted. LOL which they do almost every time. MY buddy ripped off a hood emblem from the tree polices car while he was in it. Got chased all over & then finally a $15.00 ticket.

Hanover Park - kinda Barrington & Irving at the Taco Bell USED to be a bad ass cruise/race spot until the streamwood & hanover cops had enough, now just moved down the street a little by Macdonalds!
