There were lots of streetcars in Bham. Everybody rode them. I remember the ones with the tracks and the overhead electrical connections. I believe there were 2 types of these - one trolley and 2 trolleys. The one trolley was the earliest I think. Then came the 'trackless trolleys' which had the overhead, but not the tracks. Then finally the buses. Then when everybody got cars the buses sort of petered out. They still run, but not nearly as often or to as many places. I'm not old enough to remember the streetcars going out to Edgewood Lake (Yup, that was the name. My feeble old brain just couldn't bring it up at first.) To the person with pictures of Edgewood Lake, I'd love to see them. Some of the mailing lists have a web page with a place for photos. If this one doesn't, I'd love copies attached to an off list post. Please.... And yes, there were fish in Edgewood Lake. After it was drained and probably things built in its bed, there was a great rainfall and the thing filled up again and the fish were back! Nobody could understand where those fish had been all that time the lake was dry. I never heard an explanation, just the marvel of it all. Alice
