In this photo, we see the trolleys at Friendly Center, parked near Tex and Shirley's Restaurant, getting ready to start the day transporting shoppers from Point A to Point B. Every year, before Christmas, the open-sided trollies drop people off and pick them up at designated spots at no cost to shoppers. What a fun childhood memory to ride with grandma and grandpa while parents are busy shopping. We like to ride the loop, hop off to drop off a donation in the Salvation Army bucket and stop for a cup of hot coffee or chocolate-- even if we don't need to buy gifts!
Hi Jan!
What cute trolleys. And what a great idea! I think kids of every age would enjoy them.
Re your comment on Florida: This is an old photo, and I don't remember what time of the year I took the picture, but it wouldn't matter...Naples is warm all the time and it would look like this whether in December or July!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday and a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
