Any place but Portland

So, this whole downtown streetcar idea is getting some momentum. I like the idea of streetcars, once again, running from Downtown to the Tower District. I'm a little worried that there won't be enough people living downtown by '09 to put it to proper use, buuut...we'll get there, and this will help.

Here's the problem, we're sending people to check out Portland's light rail. Portland huh? Damn, Fresnans have a big hard-on for Portland. Couldn't we have gone to some other rail city? I mean, after the titanic nerd-blog-battle, it just doesn't seem right.

Sure, lets get some streetcar action happening. But, why do we have to look like Portland's nerdy little bitch to do it?

Crazy good idea for Downtown

As Jarah enjoys more parting shots at Fresno, and Downtown River Walks fail to empress, Regge Minnitte has a cool idea for Downtown: Bring back the 30s street cars.

No, not those buses that TRY to look like streetcars...FUCKIN' STREETCARS.

They could have a route through Downtown and Tower District. Then they could link up with the rest of the city through our future light rail - we'll get one someday.

I know the idea is a little out there, but it's original and authentic - man that authentic thing is catchy Craig.
