We’re having another streets.mn Virtual Happy Hour this Thursday. Plus, we’re going to kick off a new presentation feature, where folks stop in and present info about a topic they like.
First up, streetcar history expert Aaron Issacs is going to share a video of a 1950s streetcar trip from Minneapolis to Richfield.
Stop by anytime 6-8pm and hang out. The presentation will be in the middle somewhere.

See you then!

Streetcars were kind of like buses but they ran on rails and electricity.
Bill, It’s to Hopkins, not Richfield. BTW, the photo is St. Louis Park.
I can’t wait. My favorite book of all time, “ until they bring the streetcars back”. Written about St Paul. If you’re looking for something to fill your time its a good read. Why did they get rid of them? Couldn’t those lines have been used for light rail?
