Southern MM Breakfast - South Side?

[Marauder_Santa]

A few members have asked if we could meet for one of our mountly breakfast's on the south side of town.

I think this is a good idea.

There is a Cracker Barrel an exit or two just north or south of Summitt Racing. Would this be a good location?

My suggestion is to plan a Saturday breakfast on a day when their may be a car show/cruise in we could all attend.

What are your thoughts?

[PonyUP]

I'm open for wherever, maybe we could shoot for something in the middle even

[White Knuckles]

Here are a few suggestions in Atlanta:

Being a Northsider.....I'm not that familiar with the Southside (except for the choices on the different terminals at Hartsfield-Jackson:rolleyes:)

[CWright]

I'm good to go where ever.

[Daburs85]

I work on the southside on saturday mornings so Im open to it......... My concern would be for the guys who dont check the sight wouldnt be made aware of the breakfast switch

[Gryphonzus]

I would like that. It is hard for me to make it to the breakfast get togethers since I live in Cochran, GA. My wife would also like to bring her Mustang to one of these meets to show it off but we did not want to drive two cars all the way up north. How about if we get a email list together of the people that would like to go and send them the info when a meet is planned?

True True Ed.... Guess we all step up and make sure to spread the word:beer:

I know there is an IHOP at one of the McDonough exits, if there is not a Cracker Barrel in the vicinity. I propose we announce it this month and do it in March. This way it gives everyone here and not here:bigcry: time to plan. Just my .02......... Thanks David for reintroducing this discussion.:banana2:

Welcome Back, looks like we will be at our usual spot next Saturday at the Cracker Barrel on Delk Rd. And if the weather stays nice, It looks like I'll be bringing the mustang this time around. See everyone next Saturday :beer:

[GAMike]

Hey Claude! Welcome back bud:beer:

Bump......... Is March the month we do this? Chime in

The Cracker Barrel is off exit 218 North and South (Hampton Road Exit) McDonough, GA (Henry County). Its one of the Major exits in McDonough. Its one exit north of Summit Racing Equip. too.:burnout:

Take Hampton Road due east off the exit, and at your first light (if coming from the South or 2nd light if coming from Metro ATL.), take a left going North on Old Industrial Blvd.

Cracker Barrell will be on left. Property backs up to highway.

Thats all I got. Lets get this to a vote ASAP folks have plans to make:)

[Marauder_Santa]

Sounds good to me.

[PonyUP]

Works for me too

[Mac-MerC]

There isnt a Golden Corral or anything near there?.... Cracker Barrel is cool and all... but why pay $12 bucks for 1 plate when u can pay like $13 for a buffet?.... i just saying

[CWright]

I'm in!:burnout:

I here ya Mac but the Crapper Barrel is tradition:D That said, I really don't care where we eat. Call your prefferences on this as well guys.:burnout:

[Gryphonzus]

It does not matter too much to us where we eat either. Crack head barrel is ok sometimes they have a breakfast special I like. Sorry we did not make it to the last breakfast meet. My Grandmother passed away in Indiana so we were there. I was pretty upset she was a wonderful Woman and I will miss her very much even though she was 108 years old.
We did pass through Atlanta Sunday morning about midnight does that count? So let me know when and where and we will try and make it this go around.

[Marauder_Santa]

Buffet is cool too.

[PonyUP]

Doesn't matter to me, you guys have seen me, I'll eat anything

[Daburs85]

I like the cracker barrell its easier to find then the golden corrall on 1941 !

[bosscj72]

Hi Guys,

Being a Southsider for 16 years it would be nice to have something down on the Southside of Hotlanta. My bud Mike Miller always goes to the meetings and Tina and I would like to attend one on this side of town. Grant it Summit is about 35-40 miles from me but Marietta is about 55 so that will work.

Provide the date and if it will be Cracker Barrel or Golden Corral. Either would work and we can have a shopping day at Summit afterwards! Hey I have to get that $25 off coupon used and help the economy!

Dave :beer:

[PonyUP]

We get together the 3rd Saturday of every month, normally at the cracker Barrel on Delk Road in Marietta, but this month we are shifting to the south side so more can attend

[Marauder_Santa]

Is this a done deal? Cracker Barrell south side ot Atlanta 0800 19 March 2011?

[GAMike]

Was waiting for some of the 1st gen + other members to chime in (Bill, George ect) to chime in..... George travels during the week, so lets give it until Sunday to make a decision.:D

[Black Terror]

South Atlanta will be fine with me. I will make it if I am in town that weekend. My wife wants me to take her to Montgomery, if she feels up to the trip.

[Daburs85]

Somebody needs to let Todd know

[GAMike]

Somebody needs to let Todd know

Spoke with him last week Ed. He was a little surprised. I think he forgot that we discussed the possibility of doing this, last fall...... After all it was Todd and Bill that got "this thing of ours" going way back when:bows:.


:beer:As far as location, why don't we keep it at the Cracker Barrel for this run.... Next time round, maybe we do sumthin different.:beer:

[Marauder_Santa]

Thanks Mike for making this happen.

[Daburs85]

In my uncle Paulie voice ! ( We are not allowed to discuss this thing of ours )

Oops Ed........ Fugetaboutit:cool:

Count me in for the Cracker Barrel in McDonough. It is only 4 miles from me. People may want to stop off at Summit Racing after breakfast and see the absolutely SUPER racing parts store. If you have never seen it you need to seriously stop by after breakfast.

I see I'm still #21 on the Time Slips and all the young hot shots are bailing out of their MMs. I guess the keyboard racing finally got to them when they couldn't make their MMs run. Hot air doesn't get you down the track - only hard work and some smarts.

See you on March 19 at 8:00 am.

Glenn :beer:
(yes, I'm still here)

So good to hear from you Glenn. Let me know when you will be attending a Summitt Monday night cruise in. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

[Marauder_Santa]

[Daburs85]

Are Bill and Todd coming ?

[GAMike]

Are Bill and Todd coming ?

Hey Ed,
I know Todd is coming. He's on his way to NC for business, but said he will be back in time.

Bill commented that he will be coming unless his wife decides she is up for a trip to AL. :banana2:

[Glenn]

All:

What is the time - 8:00 AM? See you there.

David:

I will have to get a schedule on the Monday night Summit Cruise-ins after the MM breakfast Saturday.

Glenn :beer:

[Black Terror]

Todd and I talked today and both plan to come. Mike, call Todd about meet up south of I-20 on I-75/85. University Ave(Exit 244) would be good for getting on and off easily.

[Marauder_Santa]

What time will you meet up?

Thanks Bill!

Ok here is the timeline....... ETA to McDonough 8:00am
@7:00am SHARP (Don't be late or Todd & Bill will leave your azz:P)
Todd, Bill and any other folks on the north - west side of town (Chris?, Mike?, David?, George?, Larry?, Jay?, Claudio?, Abdul?)

Meet at the OK Cafe (This is a 24hr rest off of Rte 75 at the West Paces Ferry exit, inside Rte 285).
For all you GPS types :)-- 1284 West Paces Ferry Road Northwest
Atlanta, GA 30327-2306

7:25-7:35am 2nd meet point
One exit South of Rte 285 (South of Hartsfield Intl.) There is the Forrest Pkwy Exit. Get off there, Go over 75 to Northbound side...... Gas Station on the right is the spot. See google maps below.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&rlz=1T4ADFA_enUS372US373&wrapid=tlif130038035071410&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=henry+county&fb=1&gl=us&hq=henry+county&hnear=Lawrenceville,+GA&ei=wzqCTer_L6iO0QHSz-ThCA&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=4&ved=0CAsQtgMwAw

There is way to get to Forrest Pkwy without getting on 75, if you are coming from 285 east or west (its an access road that drops you a lil west of the exit off 75 is all. Your choice, just look at the map here and you will see what I'm talking about).

Post up if you are going to join at either of these two locations, but be considerate to the others and show up early or on time at the very least:o.

Thanks guys! Looking forward to a nice time.:burnout:

Sorry that I will not be in attendance. I have family coming into town this weekend and will have to pass. My oldest son is in tee-ball this year for the first time and we have some practicing/playing to do. One day I am going to turn around and he will be grown, got to soak it in as I go.

Perhaps in the future, instead of breakfast, we can get together on a Friday afternoon/evening and hit the Atlanta Dragway here in Commerce for Fast Friday Night/Test & Tune.

Catch you guys later and as James Louis would say " Y'ALL BE CAREFUL" ;)

[GAMike]

" Y'ALL BE CAREFUL" ;)

No:D Sorry...... Its my standard response, to caution related concern.





You will be missed Stacy. Planning for retirement is a priority though.:lol: Major League Baseball 2025 here we come!:banana2:

[Gryphonzus]

Looks like the Wife and I and my Son and his significant other will be in attendance. We will more than likely be in her new 5.0 Mustang.

[White Knuckles]

I just got back into town last night and read this.
I'm not sure yet, if I'm coming. It's been a long road trip to FL---Bike Week:banana:----Birth of new Grandson:beer:----and alot of work:(
Need to do an oil change at Team Ford and spring has sprung on my yard with a vengence--needs some work.

FYI---------I was watching news this morning and they were talking about alot of road construction on interstates downtown-----lane closures and expect long delays-------some exit closings including W. Paces Ferry on I-75----that the O.K. Cafe exit.

[Marauder_Santa]

Are there any southsiders attending?

[Daburs85]

Mike the forrest parkway exit is the farmers market exit and the gas station is the first one on the right heading east ?

Thanks for the heads up on the West Paces exit George!
People coming from I-75 & 285 can go I-75 south inside the perimeter, get off at the Cumberland Blvd exit. (Can get off at Northside too {1 more exit down that brings you to Cobb Pkwy that turns into Northside}, but it might also be closed if West Paces is...)
*Go right off the exit.
*Take a left onto Cobb Pkwy(Its less than 600 yds)
*Cobb Pkwy turns into Northside and drains eventually(after going under I-75) into the intersection where the OK Cafe is located (on the left diagonally across the intersection).

Congrats are in order Grandpa!:D Oh yea....... Come with... I'm sure the Marauders pipes need "cleaning" as well :-)

"SWITCH!!!":D

After reading what George pointed out.....

I think it would be best if the North/Northwest siders meet @7am in our usual spot at Cracker Barrel, and roll out from there. I-285 seems to be the way to go vs. through town.....

I left a note on TAF's phone regarding this. I'll keep you informed:beer:

[Marauder_Santa]

OK - I will not meet at OK cafe. I'm located at 285 and Peachtree Ind. (Sort of) and will take 285 east side around to 675s.

See you at the south side cracker barrell at 8am.

Thanks.

Fine with me, I have had enough of downtown connector problems this week.

[White Knuckles]

Atlanta area interstates were not very friendly today unless you enjoy parking lots.
I had a lot to do today since I had been away for several weeks. I got on I-75 @ Glade Road in N. Cobb heading down to Team Ford around 7:45am----------I hit the backup just South of Barrett Pkwy:mad2: I got off and manuvered my way to Team-------When I left Team, Cobb Pkwy was jammed heading South as well.
I hope all those that went to the Southside Breakfast had clearer sailing..........I'll see you next month:burnout:
