We have about 6 cars and coffee get togethers up here to choose from already every weekend and even a couple during the week. I'm sure Phoenix has plenty too. Not sure how that got popular as I grew up with cruising in the evenings so my brain is pretty much engraved with that thought process.
Going to be difficult for Pavs to pull that off in my eyes considering what it once was and how long it occurred. The whole attraction to the Pavs for the long haulers like myself and many others up here from the Prescott area that come down, was the large crowd, the late Saturday night relaxed evening vibe, in a perfect area with a lot of parking and plenty of food options. Was always great to swing in there in the evenings and hang after a big car event too like Barret Jackson and Goodguys for instance. But I saw the writing on the wall when they started trying to make everyone leave by 7pm or what ever that was.
Driving 4 hours round trip to be told to leave at noon isn't too attractive for me, plus I don't think anyone wants to be down there at noon in the middle of summer. I always enjoyed 4-5pm as the sun starts going down and the temps cooling off as it got dark, even though I'm driving down at 2pm-3pm right in the peak heat of the day. I'd be willing to bet if this goes on into June and further most everyone will scatter by 10am thanks to the heat.
Fingers crossed though that this gets things rolling and it gets back to normal. That cruise is what put that McDonalds on the radar.
