When I moved here about a year ago, the story I was told is that there is more Keystone light sold here per capita than anywhere else. Judging by the local bars I have no reason to doubt that. And is may be crappy, but I can't argue with $13 or 30 beers that taste suspiciously similar to Coors Light.

Are you talking about Eden Prairie ? Cause in general people in the Twin Cities drink a lot of Surly. Meet ya there for a cold one.....

Unfortunately I moved from EP about a year ago- but I did have my share of Surly's back then. If you ever make it out to South-east WI let me know.
 
Last contribution for the year most likely...

One of Bruce Springsteen's childhood homes.
We lived 4 houses down for 9 years. Shortly after we moved in a charter bus squeezed down the street, then about 75 people piled out and began taking pictures. At first we couldn't figure out why....Then it dawned on us that the lady that currently lived there told us that Bruce lived there.
After a few years we put it together that whenever Bruce played NJ the buses showed up...
When it went up for sale, I joked with the wife that we should buy it and hold it hostage. As in fans pay to renovate. Or we knock it down.....
Supposedly one of those Sycamore trees is on an album cover.

Not even a booth. When I pulled up the canopy lights automatically went to full bright.... Fancy..

I was thinking...... some understandably prefer not to to ride at night. Any Christmas display, lit or not will pass...

But they look better all lit up. I had the tag of the natural gas pump yesterday but since it was only 40 degrees when I pulled out my iPhone to shoot the pic, it flaked out and died. Common problem when it gets too cold that the iPhone can't hack it. I should have kept it in my inside vest pocket to keep warm but it was in the outer riding jacket pocket.
 
Hay Dorkburger (do i need to call ya that ?....how about just "Burg" ?)......anyway...in the 70s i used to drag race in Englishtown.....Raceway Park, thats real close to you, right ?.....izzat still there ?....used to date a girl in Lakewood too....
 
Cool man.....I used to race all the hot rods I built down there then....late 70s......we'd hit a certain parking lot up by us, around 4:30....about 20 cars would all caravan down there, and sit at the gate till they opened.....good times....I had a 65 Chevy van fir awhile, and all the girls came with me (I was pretty much the other guys wrench then)....imagine sleepin in an old fixed up van with like 8 girls, lol......

Then I built my own car.....in 1975 I ran a 9.77 with a streetcar Nova.....I had one of the fastest street cars in Rockland Co NY back then....top 10.....I loved them days then.....bet a lot has changed at raceway park though....we uses to be able to test run our cars.....basically fer nuthin....id love to bring a buncha my boys down there one day and race against each other.....lotta fun....I kept the time slip fer my Nova too....

That was all pre-nitrous and all that....just high comp pistons, headers....Weiand or Edelbrock manifold, then just std carbs, usually Holleys....I had dual 800s on mine with just mesh and a scoop for intake....12.5:1 pistons, big cam.....it was a modded actual IROC motor a friend stole off ther docks....not the IROC dealer sheit....the actual Race Of Champions motor...was 429 hp when i got it....when I was done, was ap to about 530hp.....that was hot stuff back then.....

Id love to run my Kawi down that strip, and my Suzi once its done....just to see.....them time slips are all gettin cremated with me though, lol...lest my daughter wants em....

I'll grab this one, I wan't to use the '79 for one more game tag before it goes north for hibernation.:cold:
 
Ok....there are lots of christmas lights here...I'm hoping you are ok with a xmas display...:) I had to get out on an old bike today as it's been a while..rode the beemer yesterday and today I got caught in the cold cold rain...oh well...



And if that's ok...next up is a Craft Brewery....this one's not far from my house...



 
Crap you beat me while I was loading the photos to Photobucket. Oh well I'll post some anyway. My flip phone doesn't like twilight so they look blurry. Lake Mary Central park.

So let's give two options then?? Rick's Xmas tree tents or my Craft Brewery for the next tag...:)
 
Works for me, I'm off tomorrow and may be able to get the craft brewery. I haven't used the Cavalcade in the game yet and I already have an idea for a next tag.
 
A week later and one Craft brewery on Big Daddy. Not sure if that name will stick, I thought of Big Sue, but the wife doesn't like either of them. Maybe I need a thread.;)

Two options for the next tag since it is getting harder for players to get out.
First option, an all stone yard. I think I may have used this one years ago.

Next is one I know I've used before, but with a different bike.
Fish camp/ restaurant / boat ramp. Can either or all. It's just a restaurant now with rentable boat slips and airboat rides. It hasn't been a fish camp for a long time though, but it's still located at the end of Black Hammock Fish Camp Road. Technicalities such as this we ignore anyway, but I figure it will open the tag up a bit.
