Bloomington/Normal CruiseNights?

OK, I'm an addict, I'm stuck here at school, and noone seems to do much of a regular cruise night around here. Being that today is beutiful weather and all (like 50's, kinda freaky really), it got me thinking we need a cruise night around here. Thursday nights the downtown strip in Normal is packed with people going to Rocky's and Shanigan's, so that would be cool, or the Bloomington bar strip. Anyone even around here to help me get it going?

Wow, someone in the area!!! Welcome to the boards, BTW. True, Normal cops are a pain, but they're usually too bust busting up parties.

I would love to come down there and cruise this spring. I have some friends going to school down there(I live about 1 hour north of Normal) and I have been wanting to bring my car down. If we can find a few more, let's do it.

I don't know if this post is even still alive, but do people still show up at the bridge in pekin? I used to go down there occasionally with some freinds of mine who knew people down there, but heard its pretty dead these days. I also heard the cops have caught on to the spots. Any word?
