No, Mimi--she meant, they moved it BACK to Magnuson this year, although I think the hangar is a different one. Not positive about that, though. I wonder why too. Maybe they have actually rebuilt Hangar 30 already?

Croc?
Aint Doody...are you going to be at the EXPO publicizing CROC again? I tried to post on the thread from last year to find out when registration opens, but it seems to have failed. This is our absolute favorite event...and I'm craving cheese grits!

There are cheese grits? I guess we bought clothes. And went to the beer garden. If there's cheese involved, all the better

I'm with ya re: the beer garden, Teigyr! Also, I think that the 'cheese grits' reference was to food on the CROC event... Originally Posted by teigyr

I've got the Expo down on my calendar and hope to have plans for my 're-entry' bike ride all set by then too.
I think that the hangar location is seen (by Cascade) as a more accessible location for cyclists, given the proximity of the BGT and bike parking/security. There was free car parking too, unless they decide to have that as an easy revenue stream.
I agree though, that the waterfront building was sure nice - bathrooms, indoor plumbing and the like...I volunteer for Cascade every year at Expo and, the first one we had at Sand Point was freezing! There was plenty of loud/negative feedback about the indoor chill and the porta-potties, so it was a focus to improve the next year and will continue to be, I'm sure.

The cheese grits were at CROC, but they sure would be tasty with a good beer, too! When I go to Expo, I get the same feeling I did when I was a kid going shopping for school supplies & clothing (I liked school)
