Pre-Dream Cruise Traffic Is Soothing

What you don't quite know you're enjoying right now, is the soothing sound on "non-dream cruise" traffic. Getting ready for the afterglow after the events of Dream Cruise weekend.

When you’re close to Woodward in these (Woodward Dream Cruise) days, take the time to take a good listen.

Listen.

Do you hear that?

You probably don’t know yet what exactly you are listening for, but you will in the up coming weekend.

What you don’t quite know you’re enjoying right now, is the soothing sound on “non-dream cruise” traffic.

Yea, I said it.

In no way am I saying I hate the Dream Cruise. There is something really magical to see not only the transition from classic to modern styles, but also those who celebrate them in the most enjoyable traffic jam on the planet.

Thursday it will start in earnest, there will be a rumble down your street or the reoccurring sound of different cars burning out.

Woodward will have a healthy new heart beat, which rumbles to the rhythm of mustangs, Model Ts, and various rice burners.

Friday will have finally fleshed out the folding chair ensembles to be the eyes of the bumper-to-bumper living display of automotive marvels.

This also means that Ferndale’s usual casual flow will be distributed, blocked off, or closed for the weekend. Sure it’s not the most convenient state of affairs for one of the last weekends of the summer. But, to me all is fair and right in the world, as long as I get some of that sweet roadside lemonade-aide.

The Dream Cruise not only showcases some of the raw talent, and brilliance of the auto industry, but also serves as a reminder of the status quo of the Woodward stretch.

There is a magical afterglow that comes when the natural flow of Woodward returns.

Enjoy it today, and get ready.

Dream Cruise is coming.
