The kids are kinda tired of dad making googly eyes about the streetcar all the time; thankfully for them they’ve moved past Napoleon now.
I got really jazzed recently when I saw a crew hanging new cable within 6 blocks of Lee Circle. Then I went by the next day and saw them taking the cables down – all the way back to Washington Avenue.
So, yay workers, but not really sure what the process/schedule is. Caveat: I Am Not A Streetcar Engineer.
