NorthShore Cruise and BBQ

[Chapel]

brought to you by Chapel and Polo
Polo has agreed to let us use his house to have a BBQ on
the plan will be to meet at the Cummings Center Parking Lot in Beverly.
Once everyone is assembled, we will cruise up Scenic Route 127 along the waterfront up to Gloucester where we will stop for some food at Polo's house.
After that we will continue on down Route 127 to Beach Street in Manchester by the sea. There is a nice little park there for everyone to chill out at. (depending on interest, this part might be left out)
Then we can cruise all the way down to Rockport and if anyone is interested at parking and going to the shops at Rockport we can do that.
Once we are finished, we will head down Route 128 South through Grant and Blackburn circles and farther South
The strip between Grant and Blackburn is about a mile long and Ive seen people get up to 140.
Once over the bridge, 128 is winding and uphill.
Personally, this part of the road is the fastest I have ever travelled in a car. (190mph in a Comptech NSX)

so, all we have to do is decide on a date
the only thing is that we have to wait for Polo to get full ownership of his car (4-5weeks)

So, who is up for it?

Sunday, June 15th

Directions to the Cummings Center:
Route 128N (make sure you are on 128, and not on 95N)
Exit 20B towards Salem (Route 1A South)
Follow road until you get to North Beverly Fire Station on right
Weird intersection with light
Go down street between Gas Station (left) and Henrys Market (right)
If you go down the street and the Gas Station is on your RIGHT, you went the wrong way...
Follow this road. You will pass a school on the left and a golf course on the right. There will be a lake on the left after that.
There is a light at the end.
Turn left at light
That HUGE complex on the left is the Cummings Center (big sign, a few fountains... enough glass to cover the city.)
take left at light
go into parking lot
we will be on the Left side parking lot near the left hand parking complex

Sure a drive even further up to Magnolia would work too.

Those are some great roads.

This sounds good guys

[Chapel]

we'll be driving through Magnolia...
for like the 2 miles it occupies
its right between Manchester and Rockport

Around the time that i will have all my car stuff worked out it will be around the time where everyone is out of school... so NO EXCUSES!!

My house is on a small backroad with a pretty nice yard for a gathering, and plenty of room along my road for parking.

[Midnight Shark]

I'm down. What about this coming weekend?

[Polo M3]

Its not going to be for a few weeks, as I won't be home to have the BBQ, and my car won't be on the road either Expect it to be in about a month if not less...

[sweet///Motion]

sure. hopefully i'll be around

[Polo M3]

I know its not for a while, but what kind of food do you guys want... the usual BBQ stuff, steak hamburgers chicken hotdogs, all that jazz... but what else?

Ill mark Chris down for steak cake. Do you guys want me to fill one of those huge coolers with some fine cold beverages? Throw some ideas out... I might be able to get my sister and a few of her friends (employees of Vinny Testas in Danvers) to bartend/cook for us
