Favorite Cruising Burger Joint??

[Youngster]

I used to cruise University Ave in St. Paul in the '60's and '70's. there were two drive ins about 10 blocks apart, Porkies at the west end and The Three Bears at the east end. It was great. About 4 stop lights between them. If you couldn't find any action there, you went to the "loop" downtown. Drove a '55 Delray in the pre-Navy days and a '67 GTO in the post- days. Ahhhh.....Life was great in those days!!!!

For those of you in southern Minnesota there's a joint in Mankato called "Busters" on Thursday night that caters to cruisin'.

I was in the twin cities two months ago and my brother and I swung by Porky's (sans hot rod) for a while...its still the place to be in St. Paul. Guys were cruising by all nite and getting on it... lot sof fun!

My dad spent his last few years of High School just west of Minneapolis. He said the place to be there was the Porky's on Lake Street...no longer there, but I heard that they are considering opeing one near there again.

I to was not old enough to get to cruise in the 60s but I remember in the 70s going to a drive in with my Dad, Mom and her sisters and all the kids would hide under a blanket till the car was in the gate. When I did get to cruise I was 16 and had a 1973 nova with 350 bright red with 7" wheels in the front 10" on the rear with 295/50s air shocks and shock extenders it had that 80s rake. We would cruise from the point a old gas station to the other end of town to the city restaurant about 3 mile loop. Now no one really cruises we go to the shows in pigeon forge Tenn. it's only about 60 miles real good cruising.

In my late teens after votech I was living down in mounds view mn.
The cruise had just been shut down on central ave and moved out to anoka.
We had ALOT of fun out there. There was a place called friskys just off the strip. We headed there as soon as we had the shop shut down on friday nights for corn doggies and root beer floats. I was just past it earlier this year, friskies is still there but the awning is now enclosed. Makes it hard to park under. lolol.
I was driving a 1955 2 dr post cevrolet..It was all I had and almost lived in it...
