Do you "cruise the strip" on a friday night?

When we were teens we would all hop in cars and cruise the strip. There was one road that had all the hookers on it and then there was main street etc. so all night these cars full of teens would drive around in circles. It was all pointless but gas was under 50 cents a gallon! It was like a ritual. Then we would stop at "the spot" and talk for awhile and then back to "cruising the strip". Do teens still do this or has the world changed with gas prices skyrocketing. Did you do it?

Sadly, the teens in this small town still cruise the 'strip.' This is a very small town with little to do besides go to the movies. The teens gather and ride up and down the 'main' street in town, finally congregating in one particular fast-food lot. Seems the gas prices have had little effect on their cruising. Things such as this are only driving gas prices higher. AS for me, no, I never got into cruising when I was a teen. I grew up in a medium sized city and only a few teens cruised. (they were the gangsters and hoodlums)

Yes we did!!...I was born and raised in a small town called..Lancaster S.C..that was the big thing to do...if the parents ever wanted to find their kids all they had to do was head to "Main street"..but you know there was some old grouchies..that stopped it..so now I guess the kids get into a lot worse things now..then ridding down main street..sometimes the kids would park in the parking lots and just talk and look at each other..haha..the good ole days..

About twenty years ago I did. Me and my wife were just talking about this today. We were listenign to old 80's songs and talkign about what we were doing back when it was new. I told her you know our kids are never gona have that kind of freedom to just get together and go for rides with their friends. Its kind of like they took away our freedom jsut by raising the price of gas.
