Ever since there was a family car and and a teenager with a driver's license, there has been the desire to cruise the Broad Street and Elk Avenue area of Elizabethton. Growing up on Broad Street, I was privy to cruising at a young age. My first recollections of the line of cars circling the eating establishments were in the early 1960's when I would stand on my front porch and watch the cars line up and make circles around the Dutch Maid, Blue Circle, and Rainbow Restaurant.
