I seem to recall that Roxborough hosts an annual event showcasing vintage autos. They close a portion of Ridge Ave near Gorgas Park......does anyone know whether that event will return to Roxy and when it is held?.

Looks like May 11 from noon to 4Pm.
I photographed the show for Patch in 2011, and I must say there were some really fine cars there. It is worth a visit if you like to look at show cars.
