I'm way into the period between the world wars. Every time I see a picture of Portland or any big US city from that era I get jealous. Streetcars, cool fashion, classy autos, great architecture, etc.

I love streetcars (and trains). No trip to SF is complete without a trip on one of the cable cars - I always take the California Street route (past the Tonga Room) - no waiting and the trip across Nob Hill is fantastic.

Street cars are being discussed again in LA and, as an added bonus, the route would be walking distance from my front door (hopefully MTA will get more Fed $$).

I think I've mentioned it before, but the Poway & Midland RR down here in Poway, Ca. (just North of San Diego on I-15), has an opperational Los Angeles Yellow Car from the LARY Yellow Line.
