The cruisers on Peoria in Tulsa during the late 70's got pretty insane. We went a couple of times. Cars that never saw the street, only the strip were hauled out to the parking lots and unloaded for one or two trips down the strip. The sound was deafening. Everything was just fine with LEO as they had everybody confined in one area, and could control the situation.
***********Unfortunately some gangs showed up, petty theft, intimidations, muggings, vandalism to businesses, and finally shootings, etc started happening on a regular basis so they shut it down. Sad, it was a great party.
And that was only part of the reasoning behind me swapping for the .45s. I quit cruising T-town shortly after that, too any punks, too few real cruisers anymore.
