Playing catch-up: Car Show Berlin Turnpike April 28th

Image
 It takes a lot to keep posting on a blog.... a lot of time that I don't really have. So, I'm playing catch-up today. This is from April (yes I'm aware that it is June) on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington. I used to live a lot closer to this spot and would go just about every weekend. It's not working out that way this year... Enjoy.

Rumble on the Turnpike

Ever since I moved away from Meriden I wondered if I'd miss the late night rolls on the Berlin Turnpike, hearing the roar of 500 plus horsepower engines in the distance... stopping for ice cream at a Burger King and getting a full blown car show at 6, 7, 8 or 9 o'clock at night.         Well here's proof that I do miss it. I just happened to be in the "neighborhood" this weekend and decided to see if there was any action on the strip... and there was. I don't think I've ever seen this spot this packed. What I like is that it's consistent.. and doesn't seem planned. The cars come and go.
