Friedhof der Kuschelbiere 🇺🇦🇮🇱<p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Netto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netto</span></a> hat aktuell für 6,66€ Netze mit 10 Kilo <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Kartoffeln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kartoffeln</span></a> und 12 Dosen Mais für 9€. War eben mit meiner Frau dort weil wir unseren Vorrat an haltbaren <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Lebensmitteln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebensmitteln</span></a> aufstocken wollten. Konnte an beiden nicht vorbei gehen und war echt froh über unseren <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Bollerwagen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bollerwagen</span></a>. Unser <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Trolley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trolley</span></a> ist zwar auch echt hochwertig, der wäre damit aber nicht klar gekommen. Es ist zwar jedesmal ein absoluter Krampf mit dem vollen Wagen den Rückweg im ÖPNV zu machen und den Wagen die Treppe hoch zu bekommen aber das Teil hat wunderbar viel Platz und hält wunderbar viel Gewicht aus!</p>
Albatross<p>In the 1950s Minneapolis had trolley cars, in the 2020s it has light rail. During the years between this same stretch of street was a hazardous high traffic zone thru the U of M campus that regularly killed or injured students. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/trolley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trolley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/masstransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masstransit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/lightrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lightrail</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minneapolis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/minneapolishistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minneapolishistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/universityofminnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>universityofminnesota</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/washingtonavenue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>washingtonavenue</span></a></p>

14mission<p>This was a fairly dark negative and it took a bunch of tries to get a decent print.<br />I probably also need to adjust my feelings for exposure times to reflect the season.<br />Also, I&#39;ve been spending more time working actually at my work lately, which interferes with getting optimal sunlight conditions :)<br />This is a streetcar from Atlantic City, NJ.

14mission<p>I collect old postcards with pictures of trolleys. This one was tempting, but the asking price of $129 (!) is a bit steep for an old postcard. Nothing to stop me from grabbing the scan off of eBay and sharing it with you guys though.</p><p>This shows tracks of the Watsonville Transportation company at Port Watsonville, CA (there is a still a place by that name, but it seems to have migrated a few miles north along the beach).
