Information on Kenosha Streetcars |
|
They left the streets of Chicago almost 50 years ago but streetcars are making a comeback of sorts up in Wisconsin. That's right, a ride on this nostalgic mode of transportation is just about an hour away in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They've been 'making the rounds' on a 1 1/2 mile oval for just over two years now... and a ticket to ride is just a mere quarter!! Power 92's Doug Banks headed up north to take a ride on one of Kenosha's 5 cars.
