"Like countless other Friday nights, the close-knit group had made the 80 mile ritual journey to rural Belvidere, Illinois, to cruise Steak 'N' Shake and hang out at the Mills Fleet Farm parking lot"

A most excellent piece! I grew up North Shore, and hung out with someguys who went to to New Trier H.S. These guys were into D-9 Cats, loved heavy equiptment, couldn't stop talking about them. Couldn't take it all the way though. On graduating they scattered each to their separate universities..(Go IowaHawk!)

When I was a lass, cruising the "Ranch House" was the in thing to do.
