Outfit Chicago
Man oh man oh man what a weekend… I tend to go out and do car related things every other weekend. This weekend I had the opportunity to get a a little bit even though it was a by-weekend for me.
Friday I went to my friends normal meet up spot Strats in Villa Park. I got there around 7 and there was a few rednecks in their pickup trucks and trump flags hanging out there. As soon as 8:30 rolled around the lot was packed more regular traffic than anything worth while. Some cool cars did tend to roll in around 9:30 groups of BMWs, AMGs, and some Muscle cars doing the mary-go-round looking for parking (the biggest enemy of Strats).
Saturday morning I was free and wanted to check out the Metal Militia meet at The Chicago Outfit. Ive been to their location on Racine in Pilsen. Their shop is such a beautiful unique location, the brick walls and wood floors are perfect backdrops for shooting photos and video. They have cool mopeds and other unique features like whisky barrels and leather chairs that just add to the space. The only downside to the location is there is limited parking inside the building along with limited parking outside. All in all I really enjoy going to meets at their location especially to shoot. If your local to the area I definitely suggest checking out one of their meets sometime.
Strat’s seems to be the new Coffeehaus ever since Schaumburg PD shut down the ability to host any car related events in the township at all. Don’t get me wrong Strats has always been a thing but with fewer and fewer places to host weekly consecutive meets its grown in popularity and is now at risk as well. It’s apparent that Villa park PD is not happy with the meets happening there and it doesn’t help that idiots wanting to show off have to do dumb stuff when leaving causing more issues. If this keeps up the car community will die not having anywhere for people to go they will just give up or reside to adding to takeover culture since that seems to be the only other outlet.
