   EDITOR REVIEW:

FRENCH QUARTER.   Look both ways before you cross the street! You'll not only have to watch out for cars but also pay attention for streetcars zipping down the road. There are two streetcar lines in New Orleans – St. Charles and Riverfront. Routes are not extensive but a ride will show you some of the city's major sites and tickets are very inexpensive. New Orleans streetcars are the oldest continuously running street railway in the US. Now part of the municipal transit system, the 35 olive green trolley cars date from 1923-24, with the rail line completed in 1835.

Take a ride on the rails along the Mighty Mississippi and historic Canal Street. The new Canal Street streetcars even offer air-conditioning along with atmosphere. (from Southern Living)
