Watch the Dream Cruise live and later

By Stephen Frye
If you can't make it to the Woodward Dream Cruise this week, you can catch all the fun online at www.theoaklandpress.com, where we will have livestream video from the fun.
You can catch the cruise with both live and recorded video, so if you're one of the thousands who sets up on the sidewalk to watch, you can review the classic cruisers later on at your convenience.
We will have livestreamed video on both Friday and Saturday.
On Friday, we will start with our live show at 11 a.m. with the parade of cars entering The Oakland Press Cruizin' Car Show in Pontiac. We will spend three hours showcasing the cars and their owners, talking to those who restore and love the old cars.
Later, at 3 p.m., we will set up a camera to catch the cars as they travel Woodward Avenue, so take a peak at the action before you head down.
On Saturday, we will start at 10 a.m. on the road, cruising the corridor ourselves with our camera and auto writer Joseph Szczesny. If you're on the road, look for us and wave a hello.
At noon, we'll cut to downtown Royal Oak to see what's happening there.
And at 3 p.m., we will continue our live coverage from Pontiac and The Oakland Press Cruizin' Car Show as we showcase the prize winners and talk to the victorious car shows.
Besides the live coverage, look also for our recorded video feature stories, which can be found on our CruisinMI.com site or on the CruisinMI video channel on our video page.
Check us out throughout the weekend, and come back on Monday for a look back at all the fun.

Couldn't agree more. It's like this all summer. Try parking in a business's parking lot for more than a minute and you're in for a loitering charge. Hard to believe this is why these guys became cops. 'Protect and Serve' my butt. It's all about control. I'll also not be attending the Arts, Beats and Eats in Royal Oak until the people who pay these guys salaries set them straight.

+I couldn't have said it better! I thought it was just me. My husband and I were down in royal oak last Saturday parked @ the Shell station, we were approached several times by the motorcycle brigade. We were rousted from our chairs, and told to keep moving back. I said to my husband I hope their not this bad for Arts , beats, & eats. I hated to see it leave from Pontiac. I live in Pontiac, and have not missed a year of going. I might have to skip this year because of it being hosted in Royal Oak. We may get strong armed and rousted on because we are taking to long to look at a piece of art. Or possibly a limit of 15 minutes to listen to a band. I think we will stay in Pontiac Saturday for the cruise. Pontiac Police are people friendly!!!
