5. What's old is new again...
Here in the Denver metro area, they're building more light rail lines. One section will go west from Denver to the town of Golden (Coors Beer is there) using the old trolley lines that have been out of use since 1950. It will pass just 10 blocks south of our home here in Lakewood. :D

Here's an article at the Denver Rail Heritage Society about the new line being built. --> http://www.denvertrolley.org/News/News.html
A friend of mine used to take that old trolley for picnics in Golden when she was a child. It's nice to see the historical line being refurbished.

.......................
Interesting fact in the article - this is the first yearly decline in gas purchases since 1991. 17 years.
:wow:
