I can do that. I only live about 15 minutes from you. I'm asking a couple of my friends to go who might like to go too so maybe I can fill up my blaze and carpool. I used to deliver newspapers on Tomlinson Ave back when I was 10 or so for about 4 years in the Twin Pond Condos and on the street also. I used to live on Laurel Ct right out the side entrance of PHS.

I think at the time my family and I were looking for someplace different to go. We have been to Florida but never further out east from the coast. My family and I like aquariums and zoos and stuff and I read about the stuff in Chatanooga online and we looked around for somplace neutral to everything we wanted to do and we decided on Crossville. We stayed right off the main drag where I remember there was a Super Wal-Mart and a Sam Goody and a Sonic. I don't remember the place we stayed at, but it had a big lake and suite rooms. I remember it sounded really nice from the stuff I read online and saw, but when we got there, it was a dump. The miniture golf course was a wreck, the rooms were dirty and I wanted to go to another hotle that's how bad it was. We hardly stayed at the resort (not much of a resort if you ask me) only to sleep. The thing I remember about driving around was driving right through a mountain. That was cool!

I know it's a little off topic from original post, but we went to Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg for our honeymoon two May's ago and it was beautiful!

Sounds like a great time :-)

well you guys have been all round my area, almost anywhere you go you have to drive right through a mtn. gatlinburgis only about an hour from me and we go there a lot i have a cuz that lves up there. im located in the middle of al the placesyou guys went, 25 min. from crossville, hour from gatlinburg and 45 min. from chattanooga. crossville has grone big time in the last 5 years. i thinkits pretty cool how some of us have crossed paths before. i have never been up north and really dont wast to. its too damn cold and too much snow. lol

Lets try to figure something out. Who wants to go. So on and so forth

well, i know im deffinitly going, I think it would be cool to meet up there. maybe meet up at the gas station down the street from the expo center. that way we wouldnt have to search for eachother in the building cause there are a lot of people.

EDIT: I added directions in case anyone needs them. http://fmautoshow.com/directions.htm

I'm defintily going if I can get the day off. I am asking some of my frineds who might want to go too. A meeting place sounds like a good idea. What did you have in mind. The station on the corner after you take the Jennings Road exit or maybe the McDonalds right there.

I'm down for going!

What day do you want to go to this?

I'm still interested in this...Let me know where you wanna meet up at

We were thinking of Saturday the 9th cause I can't friday cause of work and my bowling league at night and I can't get sunday off. Maybe meeting up at the McDonalds down the street from the Expo Center. You take the Jennings Road exit off of I-91 and turn left. Go down to the light and turn left and the McDonald's is on your left side in case you don't know how to get there. I'm going to try and get a hold of Steve either here or yahoo im and make sure this will work. I am going to get the day off from work so I can go. All we gotta do is figure out what time we are going to meet up.

Cool...I think this is gonna rock!!!

[sm=imsorry.gif]I can't do the 9th. I have mandatory first aid/cpr class!February 9th, 2008 from 8a-1p. I can do either the 8th or 10th

SORRY

Kevin

I can do sunday after I get out of work, but getting the day off is out of the question fo rme.

What time u get out of work sunday Feb 10th?

I went last night to the car show and it wasnt that great, they had a couple of really nice cars, but the cars were really spaced out and it wasnt even close to being as good as it was in previous years, sorry i dont have any pictures, my digital camera had dead batteries in it, and i didnt know until i got inside the place.

I had to do stuff with the g/f and her family yesterday.
