Paul Schmelzer over at Eyeteeth takes a look back at when Minneapolis had an extensive streetcar system. In fact, we have our own museum dedicated to the subject. As recently as last August there was a lot of talk about bringing the streetcar back, which, I would guess, are on hold. Would you welcome a streetcar or not?

Btw, today (11/26) is the anniversary of the start of public streetcar service in the US. From City Hall to 14th Street, NYC, 1832.
