Well, it is a bittersweet time of year. Monday evening we enjoyed the hospitality of Sonny's Convenience Store in Lyman, ME for their final cruise of the season. Before it was over, everyone in attendance had won a prize. Of course, the hot dogs were great!
This last evening we took in the final cruise at CHOP (Cumberland House of Pizza, Cumberland ME). You could feel the difference, since the usual pace is one where folks spend a lot of time sitting. But this time, everyone seemed anxious to mill about, talking with one another as if to say, "It may be spring before I get to enjoy your company once more."
There are precious few cruises left this year. Two Trails Fabulous 50's Diner on Rte 25 in Standish (ME) will run through September at least (maybe into October) and Low's (Rte 22) on Wednesday will hold their last one this week, and Shapleigh Corner store in Shapleigh (ME), which goes year 'round. And in Waterboro, the final cruise at Blast From The Past will fall this Friday.
At www.hotkarz.com we will spend the winter months figuring out how to make our website more valuable to those who visit. We'll be collecting info on the cruises, shows and events for '08 throughout northern New England, and see what improvements we can make for y'all.

Way to go, BJ! I know it's difficult expressing the "feelings" about such things, but you get the job done just fine. Thank you for sharing.
