I am going to head out about 2:00 PM to get some face time with the staff from autotoyz (maybe discus some changes to my car). I think everything is pretty much setup just hoping it is a good turnout...

If anyone would like to do an inpromptu drive I am sure something could be arranged arround that as well!

Glad everything went well today and I hope you all enjoyed the items donated by the various supporters. Hopefully next time thing will be better on my end and I'll be able to make it!

Thanks again Brian for taking care of things for me. Hope you all had a great day. Take care.

It was really a great time and lots of people really seemed stoked about further get togethers, there seemed to be some interest in a winter eat meet of sorts (like last years wig-n-pen)

Will it reopen? Last time I drove by there it looked like only the shell of the building was left...pretty grim.

I drove by there this morning and i think they are pouring cement, or what looked like cement anyway. I've been told they had to get a building permit from the city to "fix" the building. I really hope they open back up, i don't know where the other one in town is, i've been told it's not as good, and it's an even further drive to (L)ames to get one.

Last I heard it will re-open as to when I don't know

But there are other good places in town to eat some with under roof parking...


Ped-Mall area with parking garage might be good for winter fun

I thought the Wig and Pen East ( Corner of Rochester and 1st Ave IC) was pretty tasty last time I had it, I just want it closer to me

Yeah they poured a foundation to the building last I saw. They didn't have a basement I dont think so they had to put some kind of basis down to start the repairs, from there I hope they can get permits to do the rest.
