Car Club Parking Issue

At a recent council meeting in Elizabethton the issue was brought up about the Staurday event from April to October where hundreds of cars line Elk Avenue in downtown Elizabethton for the Carter County Car Club’s Cruise-ins.Some businesses are asking for a change to the 18-year-old event, due to parking issues.“Parking is an issue here in town. We only have so many spaces for each store and if they’re taken up by folks that aren’t shopping, it just causes problems,” said Brad Grindstaff, a vendor at the Eagle Center Co-Op.
