Shelter from the Storm

Another Small Victory

The streetcar returned, today, along a section of St. Charles Avenue. The historic green streetcars will run from Canal Street to Lee Circle, seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The full streetcar line on St. Charles Avenue and along South Carrollton Avenue to South Claiborne Avenue is expected to be back in service by the end of 2007.

We consider it another small boost for the city. All signs of hope and recovery help, no matter how small or unimportant those signs might seem to some others.
