What about a state park of some sort? or maybe a beach somewhere at a parking lot?

I can't think of a place where the cars could be attractively seen in the city w/o parking on the main streets...

If you guys would rather park on the street, then I think any Sunday should work better because meters are not in operation (at least that's what I remember when I used to live in Boston for 6 yrs).

As far as places "to be seen", Newbury St, Copley, Boston Common, and Theater District (near Northeastern U) come to my head. Harvard Square is also a chill place to hang out, filled with nice eateries and interesting characters

yeah the meters are not in operation on Sundays.

I still think parallel parking a bunch of MB's for a nice picture is going to be hard in the city. Plus it doesn't look too good and might end up attracting the wrong sort of attention.

Harvard Sq. is worse than Boston when it comes to parking I think. I guess if we get up early (and not have a hangover) we could go to Newbury early and park the cars back to back.

There's a few parking lots in the Brookline area but nobody will see the cars except for people who are looking for parking (there would be a lot of them though)

If all else fails, there's always the parking lot in a mall (Natick, Cambridgeside, South Shore Plaza, etc.)

I am still interested. We should just put out a few dates and then pick one and get it going. I think a park or something by the water would be good. Always good for pics.

AlBoston said July 26th is OK with him (that's about 2 weeks from now), but I don't know if it's agreed upon the rest of us. Has a location been picked yet?

I, too, would be interested in a meet. May I suggest something OTHER than IN TOWN?? There are some good locations in Natick or Framingham....right off the Mass Pike..kinda centrally located. If we did a Sunday..mid morning meet, we could use a big shopping center parking lot...like the Target lot...pretty new...big..A panera coffe shop..McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Hell just up the street. Easy on and off the pike.

Is Saturday July 26th the firm and set date for the meet? I need to know so I can post up on my calendar before whatever else comes up.

As far as location, I'm guessing most here will say Natick Mall, but I'll go with the flow at any place. I'll try to talk my friend from S. Boston into coming up with her C coupe.

Seems like the crowd is in favor of the Natick Mall.

When's a good time on the 26th?
