2021 TCG Sunday Morning Cars & Coffee | Downtown Elgin | 9-12pm

[Mook]

How was the cruise?

 

[P40E]

Lots of cars . I joined at Rochelle and did about half way to Addison on Rt88 . Got some kills against a black with white stripes GT350 , a scat pack Charger , and an SRT Jeep . Good times .

Kind of figured that was coming, sadly. Was hoping it wouldnt.

I had already planned on changing up Sundays a bit but this makes it a tad harder now. Stay tuned.

Can you connect to Arabica Cafe? They are (also) delicious

 

[Turk]

I have two locations in my head.

1) the other Elgin location that gives free bread and has really good coffee

2)Tredwell in Wheaton

 

[Mook]

Arabica already welcomes us every Sunday, so that likely wont change...though I would have to get in touch and explain there might be bigger crowds.

Ever think about reaching out to food trucks? I’d hate to lose the location. Losing Red Poppy is bad enough. What’s the story behind it?

I'm going to miss that French toast.

Too expensive to stay open. COVID, lockdowns, etc have fucked small businesses like theirs...that literally opened right when the pandemic hit.

And no interest in doing food trucks for Sunday mornings...especially with how unpredictable turnouts are.

I'm interested, though I'd prefer something a bit closer to me than Elgin. I dropped the ball on organizing another Yorkville Cars and Coffee. The first one was a big turnout, the 2nd one was a real let down, so I gave up on it.

French toast was so damn good

 

[01bluesnake]

Sad to see places like this go away. Nobody realizes how bad things are till the only places left are big corporations monopolizing everything

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Oh what the mother of fuck!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Gofundme?

What yah thinking?

 

[Mook]

I hadn't gotten that far ?

I'm happy to see them hanging in there, has to be extremely tough for them. I would be in for a winter beater meet or something to help support them. Read the info on FB, looks like we would have to pre order and during certain times, which may not be ideal though

Hopefully they can hang on until spring and business picks up again. I couldn't make it out every Sunday, but did look forward to getting coffee and French toast there on the Sunday mornings that I was free.

 

[Mook]

Spoke to Matt last week and not all hope it lost. He's hopeful they can get back to a normal schedule or at the least, bringing brunch back sooner rather than later... especially if these new dinner reservation plans keep going well.

I let him know we're ready to step up and help, just needs to say the word.

I'm going through french toast withdrawal.

Yeah, we're a pretty broadly talented group of people (who are very sick of getting kicked out of places to meet - cough-Barrington Arboretum-cough)

Im sure most of us would be happy to lend some talent or at the very least commit to a 1-2x month TCG dinner. Keep us in the loop if they want the Thundercats to roll out.
