  • The Depot District “Cruise In” Live Music Under The Overpass
July 2, 2011
Cruise-In July 1st, 2011, GWC

Last night the place to be was in the Depot District, to begin the long 4th of July weekend.

As the steam of the day started to leave issuing in a cool breeze, people gathered to enjoy the Cruise In.

Timeless music filled the air as the crowd milled about listening to the live band, eating, visiting with one another and taking a tour of the many classic cars surrounding the beer garden.

The parking lot and under the overpass was filled to capacity with vehicles of all eras from the 1920’s to the 60’s.

Next to the beer garden, Joe’s pizza was filled to capacity with people enjoying the amazing sounds of Carol Lou and friends.  Decades of musical talent were there last night as the oldies were enjoyed over pizza and laughter.

Carol Lou is a regular at Joe’s pizza on Friday nights, and the Cruise –In at the Depot is a new regular – every first Friday of the month.

Coming Up…

Also on tap this weekend will be the Blast At The Overpass in the Depot District on Sunday.  Gates will open at 3:00 with bands playing up to the arrival of the special guest band.  (see article- what’s happening this weekend).  Cost is 8.00/person and tickets can be purchased ahead at Mitriones and Joes Pizza.

The Blast At The Overpass is part of the InConcert series also sponsored by Warm Glow Candles.  Rick Parker of Parker’s General Store, Mitrione’s and 4th Floor Blues is to be thanked for bringing this kind of “big city” entertainment to our town.

This was a great way to start the weekend with more to come. (For more pictures of this event go to the Go Wayne County Facebook site).
