At Jumpstreet? Kaboomtown is the largest fireworks display around. There will be tons of people, although mostly on the other side of the DNT....and the problem with the tickets, is they will limit the number of people to Addison Circle only, so everyone else will try to find a different spot to watch the show

Yeah that parking lot would be a good spot if we had to move the meet. Several of the resturants on that side of DNT are having events for this and taking up parking lots for music and what not. So we might have an issue with parking but I cant say for sure. Anyone else wanna move the meet due to Kaboom Town?

I worked in that area for a few years. We should be fine at out location. Most people will be on the other side of the DNT. There is also a great big parking lot all around Walmart where Preston Wood Mall was that people would use. If coming up from Dallas, people should take Montfort or Preston Rd to the meet location. If coming from the North, exit the tollway before Beltline at Keller Springs or Arapaho and go down Montfort to the meet location or take Preston to Beltline to the location. Whatever you do not use Beltline exit on the DNT.

Here is a map to beat any traffic. The dark green route avoids any traffic.

I was thinking that most people would be on the other side of DNT and to use side roads instead of DNT to get there.

So far the meet is still going to be in the normal location. Make sure to use the map that was provided above for traffic free areas.

They close exits and stuff at the DNT. Also the exits can back up onto the main lanes. Last year at certain times the exits for that area were closed and you had to keep going south on DNT towards Apha and 635. I was traveling from North of there at the time. Stay away from DNT /Beltline/ Arapaho and the intersections label "no".

Good luck getting to the meet spot. As I've stated before, this year KaboomTown sold tickets and people will not be allowed into the event without one. That being said, restaurants nearby will fill up fast and early. They also plan on shutting down exits off DNT and Belt Line as well.

Ok, parking lot is empty...people aren't coming to this one, yet. I know I'm here a little early, but wanted to beat the traffic
