Doc1647545523 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Pretty much last minute, but here goes. Usually I open the Hangout for CR during winter months when there's sufficient interest. Lately, though, some of the locals have been coming over on nights they are getting kicked-out of their parking lot or on nights that the weather's bad. They are mostly 18-20, but have been well-behaved. Tonight, they've asked to come over and I said okay. If the weather changes and the roads dry out, we might head to Easton late. Anyone from CR is welcome to come by at 9. So, in case you're new to the Hangout, it's an office and attached garage space on the south side of Delaware which becomes a cold-weather alternative to parking lot meets. In a room which serves as a free clinic two days a month, there's Foosball, a 55" screen TV with XB360 ready to go, Forza 4 with wheel/pedal simulator setups, other games you bring (may or may not run on my set-up). A few car theme movies are available, too. http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af208/trentrbrts/2015%20CR%20Christmas%20Party/dragstrip_8_zpsewlrsnrz.jpg There is an adjacent office for people to get away from the noise, if they so desire. There is also a heated shop area for work on your car, but only basic tools available and no lifts. http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af208/trentrbrts/2015%20CR%20Christmas%20Party/dragstrip_2_zpseksetk3z.jpg Please do not bring alcohol or drugs on the premises. A good variety of non-alcoholic drinks are provided free. You are welcome to bring food along or order pizza for delivery. Stay as late as you want. Restrooms are on-site. Large bay windows allow you to keep an eye on your car from the office and waiting room. The front door will open at 9:00 p.m. The hangout is smoke-free, but you can smoke right outside the front door and use the smokers' station. Please do not throw butts in the parking lot or in the shrubbery. You can use e-cigs in the garage but not in the offices. In case you haven't been there, here are directions: Howald Industrial Park 320 London Road, Suite 101 (in Building 100, first building on left as you enter the park) Delaware, Ohio (across from the intersection of London Road & Liberty Road) the place is 14 miles north of Home Depot/Sawmill it is 1.5 miles from the large Jegs Warehouse at Route 42 and London Road If you are coming from Columbus, it's easy to just go north on US 23 to the first Delaware exit (South Sandusky Street), exit to the left but turn right on Sandusky St., then go about a mile and turn left onto London Road at the McDonalds. The place will be on your right just after the Delco Drive Through. If you are coming from Sawmill, go directly north on Sawmill Road until it ends at the Hyatts Road Roundabout. Turn right (east) on Hyatts Road, go into the village of Hyatts, turn left (north) on Liberty Road. Liberty road dead ends at the industrial park (turn left onto London Road, then immediately right, into the park). Questions/problems: Text me at 740-405-5565.

Doc1647545523 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 We had about a dozen (two from CR) total for the whole night. Kicked out the last five at 2:15 a.m. We might do this from time to time until winter, or until they get tired of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOZZER Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I need to come up and check your shop out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Bill, you're always welcome. I shouldn't let you think it's a real shop, though. It's just storage space with a part suitable for washing a car. When someone needs space to work on the interior or exterior of his car in bad weather, it's good for that because it's heated and well-lit. No lifts, small toolbox, but plenty of Monster and Red Bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
