a search for local communities, including Cars and Coffees. While there are
a bunch of Cars & Coffee communities in our area now, back in 2011, there
wasn't one within 40 miles of where I lived (near Hunt Valley, Maryland).
The 'why' is a big deal when anyone is considering starting something
new. The local enthusiasts need a respected place to gather and to forward
our automotive enthusiasm to the younger generations. Luckily, Hunt Valley
Towne Centre was very close to where I lived. It was a respected property
that had a great space to gather with a variety of merchants that served
coffee. The location was also near I-83 and relatively close to I-95 so
people from the region would have good access. The 'where' was set...if I
could earn permission from the property's management. We'll revisit that
later. The 'who' was easy. Enthusiasts of all marques and generations would
be invited.
The 'when' leaned to Saturday. It was a more popular choice nationwide
and it was simpler for my personal schedule. The 'when' received a
special boost from Paul Seto, President of BMW CCA's National Capital
Chapter. By chance we were taking the same flight out of BWI to Dallas back
in February, 2012. While waiting for the flight, the prospects for what
became Hunt Valley Cars and Coffee were discussed. Would it be a monthly,
biweekly or weekly gathering? Paul was quick to suggest making it a
weekly so people would never have to question when it was happening.
At that point, 'when' became every Saturday morning.
