Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
I'm going to head out there one more time for sure. If a bunch of you guys are heading out on Saturday night I'd be game to tag along.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
Just an FYI. Pretty sure the entire MN car community is gonna be out there this weekend. And with the construction, have fun. Also, pretty much no import car should even be parking in their lot over these last couple days lol. Make room for the cars that truely belong there.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
I will be out there. The crowds will be the fun and bring back the memories of the "old times". It has been 10 years since I first started going to University and was first introduced to the madness known as Porky's on a Friday night during the summer.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
So are they putting this stupid train track right down the center of Uni?
From St. Paul.gov "The 11-mile line will run on University and Washington avenues"
EDIT: Holy shit! Uni is fucked: http://www.metrocouncil.org/media/Ce...or/player.html

My Dad showed me a picture of his 67 Nova parked in all it's stock glory at Porky's. Taken in 1978, RIP Porky's

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
Same as Swanny, been going for at least 10 years, maybe 11, I can't remember, but it sucks I won't be able to go there, and I can't even go on the last night!

There's a group trying to get it declared a historical site but I doubt that'll happen.

Re: Porky's Closing this Sunday 4/3/11
Was there tonight, got lots of videos and pictures, but to keep it to the point... it's what you guys always wanted University to be. Total mayhem everywhere and cops were ignoring everything. 5 straight hours of burnouts a chick even showed her tits as she was hanging out a sun roof.
I overheard cops talking about when to shut it down and they basically said, ehhh lets keep it going, even with cars doing twice the speed limit. They gave a lot of respect to the people and it seemed like they understood what was happening and why.
