| Oddly, unlike the bus on Magazine, most riders are white. |
Vintage windows were flung wide open on the world's oldest continuously operated street car line today. Temperatures in the 70s persisted throughout the evening, aided by gentle southern breezes off the gulf. We took our first ride on this legendary line, a must for New Orleans tourists, and at 40 cents for seniors a practical choice to get to Camilla's for an omelette and a ham and corn beef muffeletta. We didn't want to leave town without taking a ride, so we picked it up in front of Tulane University after a brisk walk through Audubon Park. A lot more fun than a bus ride. Just why is that?

Our street car was somehow delayed so the next one caught up with it. Could this be caused by confused tourists
without exact change who wonder where Broadway is? Perhaps. Drivers exhibit the patience of Job. Well done. |
