Someone has to look out for the stupid people

Sometimes kids need some help:rotfl:

[fast toys]

just talked to one of the workers there last week when I got some food, They said the place was not closing nor were they closing. Just another rumor?

[Z28SSMAN]

Every year, people post rumors about Porky's closing.

Last year--same thing. In fact people were swearing the place was closed.

The next day or so, I drove by and grabbed some food.

I even told a guy I played practical jokes on, that it was open and to make sure to go by and have a strawberry shake.

He called me the next day and thanked me for recommending it. Said he hadn't had "the runs" in years. lol

[MR.hp]

So anyone gone down there yet to see if it's really closed?

[Z28SSMAN]

I stopped by there Saturday. There were about 6 cars in there and a few others at the drive-up. The east parking lot was so stacked up with snow, you could hardly get through. We ordered and the service was quick and courteous.

From when I turned onto Uni from Vandalia, they have the lanes closest to the curbs barricaded all the way to Snelling. So--no parking on either curb near Porkys.

Should be interesting to see how patient people will be with only one lane each way.

At least we can still go there to get a burger if it ever gets nice out.

Maybe I can catch a ride down there with Mr.hp is his 6-speed F-body.

Are we sure it's not porrky's? lol

I think I will try to get something going here in my neck of the woods. Looks like a lot more just going to car shows this year. BWW in crystal might be a good spot as there used to be a lot of cruising up here years ago. No need for me to waste gas just to go into St. Pual to hang out with a bunch of idiots that wreck everything.

These kids whining about Porky's crack me up. There's plenty to do and several different places to go hang out with car people. Nobody went to Porky's but the mid-late 20's and under crowd for the last 10 years anyway. All they do is attract the cops.

Pick a damn place and start something up for God's sake. Isn't that hard if you have initiative and really want to make it happen. It does require some respect and willingness to negotiate with owners of places.....so I guess that means it won't be happening for the Porky's crowd.

Porky's closing

Hey Blue, You are right a lot of those idiots that get on line and shoot their e-mouths off are most of the reason Porky's is closing. Doing burnouts and cranking up the tunes does not do much for the places image, Don't forget the stupid bile owners that do the same crap.

From what Bob and Glenn have told me the late night stuff was pretty tame and those guys try to stay out of the limelight. Punk ass kids ruined Anoka and now ruined Porky's.

Yeah, first we go through the crap with the lot woman bitching at everybody (which ran most people away), to people parking pieces of shit in there and blasting their subs. Some of the cars parked in there, I would be ashamed to be seen in.

[Bluetcster]

The end of Porky's was coming as early as 2000. My dad said St. Paul has never been the same since they closed off the loop.

[MR.hp]

So the question is, Where is everyone going to go crusing this year?

If you mean "where are THOSE guys going to go cruising this year?"..... does anybody but them really care?

[Z28SSMAN]

Tradbuilt makes good sense.

Actually, no one seems to cruise anymore anyway. Park? yes, cruise? no.
