Can the street car run without electricity like busses can?

  Will people venture out into lesser neighborhoods they don’t live or work in on a bus like they will on a street car?

    If the power is out, they’re not going anywhere on a street car. In fact they become very expensive paperweights when the power is out.

Ready and waiting. Looks like most of it may miss this area if it keeps at the current trajectory.

Cold front? I like the sound of that!

  My weather bug still says a high of 90 tomorrow, 102 on Thursday. Maybe that’s a cold front in Cairo, but not here.

    Haha, yep. Soon as I typed my comment I checked weather.com. Should have reversed the order – the joke was on me.
