Cruisin’ the Gut 2014 in Vancouver, WA

You can’t come to Vancouver, WA without hearing something about Cruisin’ the Gut from the locals. Basically for a past time, teenagers would cruise up and down main street in cool cars they wanted to show off. Well, 3 years ago, the city of Vancouver decided to make it a  yearly tradition that happens in the month of July, so if you’re in town, check it out! I’ve always heard stories from my grandma and mom about how they used to do it when they were young. Unfortunately it kind of died off after the 80s, but its alive and well now!

And since I’ve lived in Vancouver all of my life, I like to partake in such events. It’s a part of my city, which in turn makes it a part of me — no matter how silly that sounds. I was able to get a few pics of some of the cars, but I couldn’t stay all day for it sadly. We had to go to our nieces graduation party, but there’s always next year!
