The lonely night-Friday Night at York

No sympathy from down here Scott! 

 

At least you're there and having some great quality time with your son!

There are enough people from the Detroit area that for those that want to we meet for supper Thursday & Friday. After that is down time with laptop and catalogs. Saturday is breakfast and then head for home. That's our standard routine.

 

 

LOL!!! Nor from here! I still have yet to get to York.

 

I can understand how going cold turkey on the social aspect could be a big let down.

Scott, wish you would have told me you didn't have plans tonight, you could have joined us for dinner!  We went to Logan's Steakhouse with Vince and his gang.

 

We'll be in the halls Saturday to nab a few things until they kick us out at 2pm.  Then we go to Latucca's on Main St. In York for lunch for the best cheesesteak this side of Philly.

Debated whether to stay Friday night but decided to head home to Virginia via I-83.  That sure was a mistake.  Traffic was horrible even after "rush hour".   

 

I was craving broiled crabcake and fried clam dinner near BWI. The food was good and I really needed the break by then. 

 

Back to the "parkway" (duh!)  Bumper to bumper, stop & go, and got home by 10pm.

Not lonely for me I am a member of LOTS and we meet every Friday at York in the back room of Lyndons Diner on 30, we had 40 people and a great time! I go out every nite of the meet to some group function.

My wife and I have started staying Friday night because of the I83 and Baltimore traffic fiasco.  We have more time to walk the halls and usually make a quick final Orange Hall run Saturday morning.  We have dinner at the Round the Clock and always see a number of Yorkers having dinner.  I've had the San m e thought about taking a transfer and track; I might do that next April.

The thread title sounds like a bad country western song title.

I have friends that go to school in the area, so I visit them.

wish I knew you were still at the Hampton on friday night because I did choose to stay over, and it was a bit dead at York after about 4 pm.  But the ruby tuesdays next door to the Hampton in Shrewsbury (sp?) is a class act, and not a bad view out the rear at the surrounding countryside.

  the restaurant is on a hill overlooking the valley and the view made for some nice transition as day faded into dusk. I think staying over on friday night  paid off because the drive home  ( I left Saturday morning at 7 am..decided to skip saturday York) was great. little traffic on 695 connecting to 70 west.

I actually had dinner at that Ruby Tuesday Friday night.

Scott,

19 for dinner on Thursday night and we repeat it with 14 of us for dinner on Friday night.

York on any night is not lonely.

I usually still have 3 or 4 hours to drive yet before the show opens on Thursday, then I hang out in the member halls till five. Then I go to the hotel, check in, and grab a bite to eat. Then it's off to the firehouse for the Marx show and tell. It's usually about 10 by the time I get back to room, and 11 by the time I hit the rack.

 

So Friday I grab a quick bite to eat and then spend some quality time in the hotel's hot tub and call it an early night. I did swim a few hundred yards before I got into the tub this year though.

 

I really wish either the Marx group or the American Flyer group would move their show to Friday though so I could attend both of them.

 

One year I brought an oval of track and a transformer and "tested" a few of the items I purchased on the bed:

 

 

 

It does seem like there is a bunch of things to do Thursday night and not so much on Friday. Maybe OGR could move their forum get together at Quaker Steak to Friday. I went to that for a few years, but by the time the Marx show is over, the OGR show is winding down too and it makes for a very long day for me.
