No, we’re not prematurely claiming a World Series victory (though we’re predicting one, of course). We just found it interesting that just as the Giants are about to engage the Kansas City Royals in the 2014 World Series, Muni’s streetcar that honors KC up and leaves town.

Exploratorium Charter August 24
We’ve got a great combo opportunity coming up on Sunday, August 24. It’s a charter on PCC streetcar No. 1050 that starts at 1:00 p.m. at our San Francisco Railway Museum. We’ll cruise down The Embarcadero past AT&T Park, past all the new development on Third Street in Mission Bay and Dogpatch, then loop through Muni Metro East, the current home of the historic streetcar fleet and not usually open to the public.

Walgreen’s Invents New Transit Vehicle
Underneath the very intersection of historic transit in San Francisco, in the basement of the old Emporium (now a food court named — wait for it — the Food Emporium), is a shiny new Walgreen’s. Kind of a mini-Walgreen’s, actually. There are a couple of bigger ones within a block or two (are drug stores multiplying like Starbucks?)
Warriors Arena in Mission Bay Boosts Importance of Extending the E-Line
A vintage PCC streetcar, in special service, pauses at the station on Third Street that would serve the new Warriors arena, as a T-line light rail vehicle heads in the other direction. Market Street Railway advocates permanent E-line vintage streetcar service through Mission Bay and Dogpatch by the time the Warriors arena opens, slated for 2018. Copyrighted photo by Kevin Sheridan.
E-Line Finally Budgeted…For 2016!
It’s going to take even longer before you see this sight every day. E-line service won’t be full-time until 2016.
