Memo To the Folks at McKinney Avenue Trolley

trolley mapSirs:

You see this little inset from the route map on your website? See how the trolley line up and down St. Paul stops just-this-short of Ross Avenue? Doesn’t look like very much, does it? Maybe 20-30 feet?

Twice in the last month, in approaching that very intersection, I have come across befuddled tourists (tourists! in Dallas!) looking at their maps and trying to figure out where the trolley stop is. So, like the polite citizen that I am, I have stopped, inquired, and assisted.

But what happens when I’m not there? Do they wander off in despair? Do they backtrack their steps and start over again, only to end up in the same befuddled state?

I have an idea. Put a sign at the corner of St. Paul and Ross. Have it say something clever, like

Trolley<—- Here

I think that might help.

Your friend,

Wick
