Next Friday, in addition to ArtWalk, another incentive to come downtown is the Hot Rod Power Tour 2010. Mobile is the last of seven cities on the tour, which is bringing between two and four thousand cars to our city. They'll be parked along downtown streets from about 9 AM until about 7 PM, when they move to Battleship Memorial Park. An area bounded by Government, Washington, St. Louis and St. Joseph Streets will be closed to all but essential traffic from 7:30 AM until the cars leave in the evening, so plan to park outside the area (perhaps at the Government Plaza or Riverview garages) and walk into LoDa. A free shuttle will circle the area until 7 PM. (Other Tour activities will be taking place at the Civic Center.)Come savor a rare pairing of events. Artists, bring your sketchbooks and cameras to take advantage of some fresh material!
