The operator on the train I was riding this 
			February day made a spirited effort to get the travelers on board 
			his outbound car to leave at the turn at Riverbend.  He advised in several 
			variations that there was little to see at the end, and also that the neighborhood was not the best in the world.  
			Riverbend, on the other hand, offered restaurants, antique shops, restrooms, strolling 
			opportunities and so on.  
			Almost everyone else got off.  
			 
			There was rather a mass of 
			streetcars and humanity clustered at and near the last stop, and the 
			few remaining passengers wound up getting off several blocks away 
			from the terminal when the streetcar came to its initial stop.   |
