Cruising at Target

May 29, 2020 — It may be a long, boring summer. All but two of the summer theaters I frequent have canceled all performances for the season. The two that remain have delayed their opening until late August, and even that is not a certainty.

The New England and Northeast car shows I cover have canceled all their shows for May and June, a few so far in July and August, and one as late as October. However, I just learned the weekly Friday evening show at the Target parking lot in Nashua, New Hampshire, has resumed, so I high-tailed it down there. It was a small show, barely more than thirty cars, but it felt good to walk among and photograph cars, antique and late model, once again.

Everyone observed social distancing and many wore face masks, including yours truly. We all found it easy to stop and talk about cars from six feet through masks. The evening was hot and humid, but even that was welcome after this unusually cold spring up to now.

I'll be on the lookout for car shows wherever they may be. The Target show proves a small show can be very safe. My photos of the event can be seen at this link:
