The last streetcar (a trolley that ran on tracks in the street) in Brooklyn, where I lived, was on Church Avenue, and quit in 1956. The "car barn" where the trolleys were serviced was turned into an indoor "farmers market." For several years, Brooklyn had electric buses--regular buses that were powered by overhead electrical lines.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
