I live about 5 minutes from Tony Lukes and based upon how many forums this thing has been posted on my prediction is that it will be a major clusterf*** because there's not all that much parking.

On any given Saturday, there are already people parked up and down the street and in the median. So add 50-100 extra cars and we've got major problems.

So what about this--let's plan for an alternative gathering place if Tony's is a mess. There's a plaza about 1/2 mile away on Christopher Columbus Ave that's anchored by a Best Buy, Ikea and Lowes. There's also a Champs Grill and Lonestar Grill, so there should be enough place to park and grab a bite if we need to use the escape valve.

Address/phone
2100 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd. Philadelphia, PA
215-218-0393

Thoughts?

I'm still planning on attending.

Might be easy to meet at the Lowes parking lot about a 1/2 mile away from Tony Lukes on Christopher Columbus Blvd./Delaware Ave.

Address is in post #5

You East Coast guys have all the fun. All we can do is make a run up PCH to Neptune's Net and recreate a scene from The Fast and The Furious, lol.
