ha-ha-ha!!
So I'm raising $*it again without even realizing it huh?
Sorry, here I was (honestly) thinking that you guys like to meet there because it's where the sreet racing scene meets up.
Frankly the whole foothills industrial area is terribly dirty, and that specific T-H's is openly watched by the cops ~ I have heard over and over again that just rolling into the parking lot in the evening makes you liable to have your plate recorded as a suspected street racer - frankly that's something I simply do not want to have on my record (official or not).
At 9pm I'd think that many coffee shops would still be open!?
I live in Riverbend, I know there's a new rather huge parking lot in Quarry Park - there's a Starbucks nearby...
There's also a Tim Horton's in Riverbend...
There's also a T-H's in Deerfoot meadows - the SE corner of the Costco parking lot... there should be good lighting and decent parking there too.
I guess you nailed it about the central location deal - there used to be a Tim Hortons right on McLeod Trail just south of Chinook - I think there's a new one a block or two north of the old location, but parking is going to suck bawls...

lol its all good. and yes that spot is known to the police and they do stake out barlow and keep an eye on everyone but as long as you don't drive like an idiot then your fine. i've been goin there for a few years now and never had a problem.
i think the biggest reason we meet there is a - tim hortons coffee and the biggest reason b - the show we get from watching all the dumb **** idiots get pulled over by the cops

ok, you two sold me...
I can tend to drive a little heavy footed, so I just don't want any indication on my record that I'm a suspected street racer - that's my main concern - I know I have gotten off lucky more than once - and at this time I have a spottless record.
Sorry if I'm being a little paranoid about being lumped into the likes of rene or nate (or much of the tuner crowd in Calgary)...
I'm game - lets get a consensus, and I'll show up;
unless I hear otherwise, I guess Deerfoot meadows is it.
Let's tentatively say the parking in the area beside the Tim Horton's?
