I could be wrong, but you might want to check your facts on this. BTW, when the trolleys last rolled down Hamilton, The Morning Call, who's owners owned the profitable Park and Shop lots in town, praised the last trolley trip as "progress" and more people could enjoy driving into town. The area lost a major asset when those tracks were ripped up and sold for scrap back in the 50's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-26375619273272245212010-05-17T09:16:24.037-04:002010-05-17T09:16:24.037-04:00The "bisexual" autobuses should organize...The "bisexual" autobuses should organize and have a parade through Allentown to better promote autobus alternative lifestyle understanding, empathy, sympathy as well as harmonious inter-autobus lifestylists' relations.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and to advocate for and protect the Civil Rights of the autobuses. <br /><br />Only THEN, perhaps, will the shameless cheap shots cease!<br /><br />CAPTAIN KUM-BYE-YAHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-64528824650518627702010-05-17T08:42:45.950-04:002010-05-17T08:42:45.950-04:00What strikes me is LVT didn't use million$ of ...What strikes me is LVT didn't use million$ of taxpayer and casino funds.
