Back in the 50s through the early 70s Genesee Street in Waukegan IL was the gathering place. Everyone went there to meet others and just to hang out. Anyone who was anyone or even just wanted to be seen with anyone went to Genesee Street. Many marriages came to be as a result of hanging out on Genesee Street. This was also the place to go if you had a hot car. People would just drive in loops around all of the downtown Waukegan streets but the main gathering place was always Genesee Street. In the late 80s a local classic car club wanted to bring back this tradition for one weekend each summer. This has become one of the largest classic car gathering in northern Illinois each summer.
