Tonight I heard music wafting over the air downtown, so I followed it, like a rat following a piper. It led me to Arlington Square, where I found a few dozen classic cars gathered around for a Karson Kruzers car show. A band and a dance floor were set up in the corner, although as soon as I got there the band called it a night, and the cars started leaving one by one. So of course it was photo time, before the party broke up.
Arlington Square is the parking lot across the street from the Nugget. It's actually called the "Nugget west parking lot". But last winter when they put in the skating rink, they renamed it "Arlington Square" for the winter, in honor of the Arlington Hotel that used to be there.

I see you got a nice shot of our little 1972 Honda 600 sedan :-)

The name went away when the ice rink did, but I'm going to call it Arlington Square from now on just because it sounds better.

Great idea Scott. There are a few other places around town that could use a new name... like the Ormsby?
