'56 was a guesstimate on my part. Were they running on the far eastside in 54 or 55? I was not overjoyed over having to go downtown shopping with my Ma until I was a little bit older. I remember thinking it was just silly to force me into a downtown trip just because she wanted to ride the streetcar one last time.

Times like this is when I really miss having my ma to ask. When her mind was still healthy, her memory was like a steel trap.

Hmmm. Wonder if I dig out my ma's yearly datebooks...she wrote down almost everything. I'm gonna check the attic.
