After spending so much time traveling to Owings Mills to talk with car collectors and garage owners, I must pay respect to an absolutely fabulous set of roads. Greenspring Valley Road (east) to Falls Road (north) to Shawan Road (east) to Hunt Valley on warm, sunny day is tough to top.

Nine years ago, when I was planning my move to the area, I was driving the area with my agent. Driving south, we reached the northern limit of Timonium. She said, "Some prefer to live on this side of the line because we just passed though C.ockeysville. That name turns some people off."
As an update, the idemnity agreement is in hand and it'll be reviewed by my 'indemnity pro' tomorrow. I took a tour of the meeting area with a representative of Greenberg Gibbons Commercial. The expansion of business in the HVTC will cause our space to gradually shift over time but of course it'll remain in the Best Buy parking lot. A healthy Towne Centre contributes to the local economy and provides us with a steady meeting location. (insert thumbs up here)

Both on the E90Post sign up page, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=650610

T minus 6 days and counting, and the forecast looks awesome.
See you there.

Good to see you here Mr. Spy.
As of this morning, Facebook users have spoken and response is strong.
"Going" 135
"Maybe" 48
Those 183 have "Invited" another 170
Here's the Facebook location that started it all. Its the Hunt Valley Cars & Coffee Event Page. It'll be outdated after March 31 so here's our new home, the long-term Hunt Valley Cars & Coffee Group Page on Facebook. Even if you're not a Facebook user, the first link can be viewed regardless of Facebook membership.
For an example of what's viewable on the link, here's today's update...
Here's the current parking map. The "Show Car Area" is just that. If you plan to bring your show car, this is your area. It will be clearly marked with cones. Spectator vehicles may park in any open space outside of the coned area.
What's up with the "Show Car Area" shape? Integration with early Best Buy arrivals to the north, extra Chick-fil-A employee parking and construction staging to the south and present construction to the west make the marked area the most proper for the cars. For the car owners, it means a bit of a 'calorie burn' for coffee right now, but as construction settles, the zone will shift more toward the middle of the parking lot.
As you can see, the parking lot is surrounded by 3 coffee options that will be open during the Cars & Coffee hours. In fact, Caribou Coffee, Panera and Chick-fil-A will be open at 6 a.m. Options are always good!
If you're arriving from Shawan Road, you'll take a right at the T of the main entrance and then you'll meet with the lower-left of the map. If you are unfamiliar with the area, lean on navigation or Google Maps. (wink)
Its time for car detailing. Make it look sharp. I cannot lie. My hands smell like carnauba from this morning's polish/wax. See you on Saturday!

Edit...
Thank you for posting the thread. There are a few clerical updates. The original plan was for the C&C to be the held on the last Saturday of each month but, due to the incredible response, it has been moved to every Saturday starting on March 31. Also, linking the long-term Group Page will do the Viper crew service since the Event Page will eventually close. When I get approved for membership, I'll tie-in updates (as needed). Once again, thank you!
