To wit, Trolley held up for 45 minutes because someone parked over the line. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 25, 11:53
Now, they used to run a locomotive through LA Hollywood to Westwood once a month to avoid having to rip out the old tracks -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 25, 11:09
That's why CA is continuing with its high speed rail project that's way over budget. If they don't complete certain sections. they have to repay over - jnine Feb 25, 11:07
Whoever thought that was a good idea in the first place should be fired. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 25, 11:04
The Loop is such a PITA to navigate. Let's make it more crowded! -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 25, 11:03 7
- I just look forward to more pictures of the trolley being stuck because someone didn't park right on Delmar. -- nm - spamlet Feb 25, 11:04 6
  - I give it a month tops before it injures a careless pedestrian. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 25, 11:07 2
    - I am all about pedestrian rights as kind of like walking when possible but if I'm out walking I get hit by something on TRACKS, well, that's on me - JD Feb 25, 11:15 1
      - And if you get hit by THIS trolley, there's reason to believe you did it on purpose. So, I agree. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 25, 11:17
  - And that's quite literally a 50-50 proposition right there. People are idiots when it comes to parallel parking. - Turd Ferguson Feb 25, 11:06 2
    - Not only that but the margins are so small that not being *right next* to the curb is enough. - spamlet Feb 25, 11:11 1
      - Well- to be honest, I've been in my basement for more time than I care to mention, so I haven't been out much. - Turd Ferguson Feb 25, 11:16
that seems silly - decline Feb 25, 11:02 1
- It's not useful for commuting or really anything. Maybe a tourist *might* take it but the beginning and end points don't make any sense. -- nm - spamlet Feb 25, 11:03
