When I was a kid, one of the things we did in my neighborhood was hang at the corner. The Corner was always a hub or activity, keeping up with the who's who, what's going on with various neighborhood news and opinion.  Welcome to Lee's corner where I will do my best to keep you, the members, informed and up to date on various events and happenings in the car show neighborhood .I got to give a shout out to this week's sponsor, my buddy Doc Sab and Cadillac World, Home of Mac Daddy Wire Wheels that are Hand Made using American Steel, TBird Chrysler and Packard models available...

Last Thursday Night I had the chance to attend the Norcross Cruise In and I must say I AM IMPRESSED and I don't impress easily,   IT WAS INTENSE!!!  First thing it is at night, second thing there was in the neighborhood of 500 cars and the last thing that impressed me was the age.  Beside myself and my crew, I did not see (I think) anyone over 40 years old. There was great diversity, trucks, classic, foreign, hot rods and rat rods, lights and sounds galore.  If you could dream it, you could wish it, it was there.  I got to give a shout out to the organizers they did a great job, security, taking care of that many cars, the traffic control, that many kids, is no easy task.  BTW these kids are some of the nicest, politest bunch I have ever had the pleasure of taking photos of.  Either that or they just took pity on an old man.  It's every Thursday Night in Norcross.  I recommend going at least one time, to this Fountain of Youth and taking in the sights and sounds of our heirs of the car world, the younger generation...For photos, go to the South East Wheels Events http://southeastwheelsevents.com and under Albums click on the Thursday Night Norcross February 2, 2017 Album Cover.

If there is something that you would like to share about an event or opinion, come to Lee's Corner and post it.  We can't use everyone's but we will hit the highlights.

Have a wonderful week and if I may be of service, please let me know...<>/strong>
