Toonerville
editCan anyone explain why -- in a history of Streetcars which I ran across in Scottsdale, AZ some twenty years ago, there was a photo of a mound of discarded streetcars being prepared to be burnt -- there was a number of these cars which had the destination "Toonerville" displayed ?
Was this a joke or was there at some point a destination called Toonerville in the Phoenix area. I have been able to find nothing.
Phoenix, in a fit of lunacy, is bringing the streetcar back.
Never
editI tossed the above question to someone who went to high school in Scottsdale, and he responded:
- I've never heard reference to any streetcars or 'Toonerville' in Scottsdale or Phoenix. There MIGHT have been streetcars in Phoenix in the 1920's-1930's, but I doubt it.
Ahh, Youth
editJust take yourself into the downtown Scottsdale Public Library and you will, I hope, find the book I speak of, a history of streetcars, and in that book is the picture I spoke of, captioned as having been taken in Phoenix. Of course, books sometimes are wrong. There are other pictures in there of piles of streetcars, ready-to-burn.
Of course, in twenty years, the book may have been removed.
The new ones will be of aluminum and plastic, much harder to dispose of, but disposed of they will be, and soon.
By the time I get to Phoenix
