Field Kindley High - the place where cruisers go by every time on Eighth. A warning to all the speedsters is the Eighth and Roosevelt sign: police are nearby. Friday afternoon and all is well. Sophomore Lori Gillen and a friend take to the car and to waving at all their friends they see while driving. While it's true everybody has been cruising Eighth for as long as can be re- membered, not everybody likes the idea. Businesses on the street say teenagers leave trash, cigarettes, and bottles on their property. When they've tried to make a stand before, win- dows or signs would be smashed and everybody still stayed there to talk. Eighth Streetf15

The Store - Coffeyville's place on Eighth Street where the nightly cruisers can stop, talk, buy food and pop, and refuel their cars. THE IVIEETI PLACE l'Did you see him? Did you see him? Honks are sounded between cars as students pass each other on the street. Waves are exchanged. lt'sjust another day on Eighth Street - cruising. Eighth Street - the place for students to cruise in their cars, socialize with friends, and have fun. However, local businesses have become less tolerant of the cruising activities. Signs prohibiting after-hours trespassing have been posted, as have new speed zones and stop signs. Whoever will win is uncertain. Business owners say they have the right to protect their property, students say they have no other place to go. But one thing is certain: until one side clearly wins over the other, teenagers will be on Eighth - cruising, laughing, and having fun. 121 Eighth Street .
