Last stop in my autumn tour. I had a few hours before my flight home, so I rode the Hiawatha Line downtown and walked around and across the river.

The Hiawatha Line moves awfully slow downtown, even on a Sunday with little traffic. How will a High Street streetcar work in Columbus traffic?

what kind of camera do you have?  are the pictures suppose to look distorted?

Film scanned from a Canon EOS. I don't know why these look funkier than pics I scanned last year.

Streetcars generally run around the same pace as vehicles through dense areas like High Street in Cbus.  Streetcars work especially well when they are choreographed with the traffic signals.

I was just in Minneapolis for a convention two weekends ago and it was amazing.  That's one beautiful city!

Nice!
