Back when we were living in the Parkside Projects I used to have to catch a bus on Conner to go to Hutchinson Elementary School for Kindergarten and 1st Grade. This was in 1954-1956. I remember the busses were attached to electric cables but they had rubber tires and did not run on tracks.

Does anyone remember these busses and does anyone have any pictures? I also remember a very large garage where we would sometimes have to go to change busses if there was a mechanical problem. I think it was on Shoemaker. They still had busses that ran on tracks because we used to ride the Conner bus down to Jefferson and take the bus that ran on tracks to Belle Isle. I remember the garage was a maze of tracks and overhead lines.

I would love to see some pictures of these busses and the garage and yard if anyone has any.
