Have you ever ridden the Englewood Trolley? I have been putting it off for a long time. Now we have until June 30, 2013, it seems to enjoy this ride. There has been much talk about how this quaint reminder of days gone by is not used by anyone. I am beginning to think that some of us are invisible. The 2nd Ward Councilman said that he has never seen anyone on the Trolley. Well, the only time that I have seen it empty is when parked in the garage. Perhaps Mr. Cohen should come down off the hill sometimes. I am getting the strange feeling that some folks would just like to control the very air we breathe. So I guess the people on this Trolley are plain old invisible. Very Ralph Ellison.
If the folks on the East Hill don't use it, why not stop the one that is wasting time and gas going up there. Sounds like a viable plan to me. Seems like the real problem is the people on the Trolley trying to get something for their tax dollars.
Perhaps those of you who ride the Trolley should speak up. You are allowed. Someone might tell you that you make a big deal of everything and threaten to get nasty, but I have found that life goes on after evil people get nasty.

Take a Trolley Ride Englewood. June 30th is not that far away.
Get yourselves a free Trolley Ride. Make a few phone calls. There is little reason to suffer in silence. There is a lot of NASTY in the world.
First a Tsunami, then a surplus, go figure.

No money for the Trolley, but $90,000 a year leases is given for a $1.00 to a dance studio...Mean-spirited, environmentally and economically unsound decision making. Did I mention does not serve a large portion of the tax-paying residents?
As Lucy said the Snooty people on the hill who all own cars do not use the trolley while the little poorer one down the hill use the trolley on a regular basis. Some use the trolley to get back and forth to work for those same snooty people who own the businesses in the town. Englewood can afford to let the dance studio pay only $1.00 for rent, who picks up the rest of the tab?
For people like myself (I never had a license and I'm on a fixed income), the trolleys are a huge help for my getting around. I need them just as many others do. If you take them away from those of us who need them, what will happen to us? Will we be forgotten about? If we end up having to pay for transportation locally? There's got to be a better way that will help all of us!
