"Under The Clock" Resturaunt

Calling All Rodders,

What a beautiful weekend, I hope every one had a chance to get out and do some cruisin!

We went for a ride down to the peninsula this weekend. Sara's was packed so off to the dock we went. There were a few cruisers out and about we stopped on State Street to talk with the fellow cruisers and enjoy the weather and other cars driving by. Everyone is more than ready to get this season started after our long hard winter.

Soon we left there for some more cruisin around Erie, when we decided to stop off for lunch at the old Boston Store, Under the Clock, Restaurant. We had heard about this place but never had the opportunity to stop so today was the day. What a wonderful surprise! The staff was waiting at the door when we arrived, found us a seat right on the street so we could continue to watch the cars buggin state street.

Our server, Donna was a joy she not only was a great waitress but showed a genuine interest in our car and hobby. We spend much of the dinner talking with her about cars. The service was fast and the food was very good. The prices we very reasonable also. All in all we had a wonderful lunch. They also have seating outside on the patio for summer dinning. The restaurant itself was decorated beautifully.

Please make sure you find time to visit this restaurant on your next trip down state street you won't be disappointed. Ask for Donna as your server tell her Rex and Annette send you in.

See ya at the next car event!

7th annual First Assembly of God Show 2009

Calling All Rodders,

Hi Cruisers, many of you have been asking about the First Assembly of God Show. Iam sure it is because it is usually one of the first event of the season.

Well, today I got a hold of Rick Falvo and he told me there will indeed be a show this year although they have moved the date into June. Last years weather was pretty cold and rainy if you remember right. So they thought maybe the turn out would be better if it was just a little warmer.

They will again have food, prises and trophies. It is again open to cars, trucks, and motorcycles. If you didn't make it there last year make sure you put it on your schedule for this year it is a nicely run show with plenty of run for the cars and people. Supporting our local shows keeps them around for the next season. So come out and enjoy the event.

See ya at the next car event!

News about Buggin State Street Events 2009

Calling All Rodders,

This blog is in response to the Buggin State street events of 2009. As, I stated in an earlier blog. The 2009 event were possibly being cancelled. It has come to my attention that three event dates have been posted on the website,www.eriedowntown.com for July, August, and September 2009. You can find the dates on the event schedule of my site also.

I have received many comments on this event in emails to my site www.callingallrodders.com, I will be sending these messages to the Erie, Mayor's office so they can see how important it is that we keep this event in our area.

We are grateful to the organizers of this event in continuing their work on making this a one of the favorite car events in our area. Not only does our community enjoy this event, but it brings local tourists to our area from all over the tri-state area.

It has become an event that families plan around and brag about. It is one of the few family events that is attended and enjoyed by all ages. Grandparents talk to their grandchildren about days past. Many relive their teenage days of Buggin State,
Reunions have been made at this event. It truly is fun for all. Whether you own a car to show or wish you did, whether your car is show quality or a great hobby shared in that home garage, it brings families together learning the skills of older car buffs, bringing out your creativity, and putting a smile on your face and bringing people together for an affordable evening of fellowship with the community.

Make sure you check out the dates and plan to attend Buggin State Events in 2009.
See ya there!

Will the 2009 Buggin State Street events be cancelled?

Calling All Rodders,
It was brought to my attention today that there was an article in the Erie Times that there is a rumor that they may not be having the Buggin State Street events in 2009. As any of you know who have attended this event in the past it is one of the largest local car events held. Once a month on a Friday night in the summer State Street is turned into a Street of Custom Cars, Muscle Cars, Streetrods, Rat Rods, Speciality Cars, Antique Cars you name it is there and the public sure seemed to enjoy this event! As it is wall to wall people and cars. It is a fun filled family event that everyone can enjoy. I need more information on this. And I also have posted on the website (www.callingallrodders.com) that anyone wanting to comment on keeping this event going can email me (at annette@callingallrodders.com) and I will print and mail to to the Mayor's office these responses, in and effort to ask them to keep this event going. Many local car owners as well as many car owners in the Tri-State area participate in this event so we need to show our support for this event and let the organizers know we want to continue to enjoy the Buggin State Street Events. As well as support the local area business that are effected by our presence. Thank you for your support.

See you at the next event.
