Abstract:
A mode of transportation from the past, a trolley car, has captured Charlotte's imagination. Car number 85, last used in 1938, was saved from the scrap heap by the Historic Landmarks Commission and restored. This trolley's run was one mile in 1997 and has since been extended, with three more trolleys added and three more additions planned. Goodpasture discusses the economic impact the trolleys are having on Charlotte.
