Frank,
Lovely shot and lots of nostalgia for me.

Avenue.)

When I was a wee one, there was a street car line down the median
strip of the South Side's Stony Island Avenue . The cars were
electric and were charged by overhead wires. They had open doors at
either end, and you could hop on the moving car if you were a bit
late. We used to ride a street car up to Jackson Park for picnics. The
last street car line I remember on the South Side was on Cottage
Grove. By 1960 or so, they had all been replaced with buses. I think
they lasted a bit longer on the North Side of town.
