Quite true...and so did the Navy Bases back in WW2! rondvu 10-28-2010, 04:38 PM Call me stupid, but I had no idea how fast those street cars could move. In my mind they were in town moving at snails pace. It reminded of the old Remington Park commercial a few years back. "Go Baby Go"! I would love to ride those. It would be a lot less stress then driving myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0odXnKhKBxQ jmarkross 10-28-2010, 04:44 PM Go to San Francisco and watch the tourists get flung off the sides during turns! Happens all the time, though they are cable cars technically, they operate in a similar fashion...

Then you can also remember the Hall family feud when then Gov. David and his sister went head to head over paving over the bricks. Too bad she had to lose. Brick streets were neat. So was the NW Highway back in the day when it was a 3 lane road to Okarche after they had removed the Interurban's tracks, but left the bricks. Hard to tell which was rougher, the bricks or the concrete. ljbab728 10-28-2010, 11:31 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you remember when they had a good football team???? just yanking your chain.....I remember the brick streets as a matter of fact there are some still there..... Getting a little off subject but NHS won the state championship when I was a freshman there. |
