The homes are right after Liberty Street as you are going south on Prince. The two that just burned in the middle of the block. Charter bought the property diagonal from the ballpark, the burned down, I think it was a bread place at one time, but not homes. I expected to see some improvements quickly on that place, but it's sat virtually unchanged for it seems like years now. I think Artie told me a few months ago that he heard Charter was having financial issues with it? Seemed odd to me since they seem to have no problem building more and more homes elsewhere. And now the Warfel building across the street from that is empty.

Charter is having big time financial issues. Housing market is in the toilet. They are struggling to keep their head above water.

Maybe they can include the Rocky Springs Carousel in the trolley station. I nominate the Carousel as dumb idea #3. They haven't even gotten that thing going yet, and they're on to trolleys.

Eventually, Lancaster Streetcar Co. plans to send the 1940s-era PCC streetcar to Warren, Warren County, where it can be restored. A complete rebuilding will likely cost between $350,000 and $400,000, Howell said
Just think how many city streets could be repaired for $400,000.

Doesn't anyone use common sense any more?

Unless you live within a few blocks of North Queen St. and work within a few blocks of... somewhere else on North Queen St... this isn't going to replace your car. Given the number of stops it will have to make and its limited extent, I'll bet you could walk to work faster than taking this trolley. The only people it makes sense for are people carrying luggage from back and forth between the train station and the convention center and people who think riding the trolley will be "keen!" (I hope the novelty doesn't wear off too fast). Shuttle buses can do this same job for a fraction of the cost.
