Kansas City

totally agree with joco. and time frame and i do like the idea of this lot, altho it isn't very "attractive location" if ya know what i mean. A lil worried that the city of overland park wont like us either. (chad's experience with them so far)

as soon as we get into permits and such its gunna get expensive. then we gotta bring in sponsors.

im a lil impartial to a location more inner city, but have yet to find ideal location.
plaza/pv/leawood. Town center has a huge lot, old folks home in prairie village hosts car shows all the time, 100 yards to starbucks. And trust me there are plenty of exotics there too.

but with the 135th location we'd at least know that people are willing to drive there (as seen from FF's)

im totally up for discussion on location. this crucial aspect

the balls are rolling now, im committed to see it through. i'll need help tho

first off gotta get permission from the property manager for the lot.

as far as getting word out. we gotta grab more than just internet, but that is still a given.

i'd start by inviting all the car clubs & internet clubs. they have all the enthusiasts, with mailing lists, and they know how to assemble for meets. help set a standards for behavior and keep it classy

and while I do hate on others choices sometimes, this should be open to everyone, like I said before, as long as their respectful.

i really do want an event that both guys young and old feel comfortable at. imports and hot rods alike.

i'll volunteer to build a website, and design/print/distribute posters to make it look professional.

that kinda gets to the point is this just an informal morning meet, or can we make this bigger than FF?



some pictures to level out all this rambling...........

Jackson, that particular location is in Leawood which may make a difference, maybe not.

As I mentioned before, the C&C I've checked out have been at Starbucks. Maybe they are the unofficial sponsors and could offer you guidance, contact the landlord, etc. Maybe they have a "Cars & Coffees for Dummies" book.

im really not as concerned with it being next to a starbucks, as the location being easy to find, tell someone about, or simply see just driving by. oh and getting free access to.

think the original in cali is at mazda headquarters, not at any coffee shop at all.

if you really had a crowd, a food truck could easily be requested. (found this guy in 30 sec. CoffeeCakeKC LLC )

i really do have a 100 ideas for locations, but find problems with all.

I totally think were capable of pulling off a C&C on our own. and better than other states too.


edit.....

not opposed to starbucks either, they can offer acces to their lot, and coffee fro guests.
just all in weird spots

idk after thinknig about it starbucks kinda way to go. think about bathroom and such with a bunch of guys drinking coffee

i came up with this one at lunch......

abandoned lot across from ward parkway mall. its huge!!!!! and best of all there's never ever in cars there. kinda not most glamourous side of town tho. altho it is still leawood.

tunnel under stateline to the starbucks ward parkway map

I went to a car show at that location last year. That location is virtually hidden from State Line. That show had almost zero visibility. Just sayin'......
