This Space for Rent

Trolley photo of the day

Both of the half-lime green Inekon trolleys lay over at Gibbs St.

The trolley loop south of Gibbs St. has been pulled out of service, presumably because of construction on the highrises at the south end of this latest festival of insider politics (a festival that I, reluctantly, see some good reasons for; the Oregon tax code is biased in favor of businesses, so it's good policy to replace businesses with residential properties which -- even with the ridiculous package of tax giveaways the city gives to developers that set aside even a single utility closet as "low-income housing" -- will bring in more property tax revenue) which means I get to occasionally catch pictures of multiple streetcars laying over at the Gibbs St. station.

The picture quality suffers when it's drizzling, but this is about as good as the view from human eyes was.
