Any trolley buffs out there in p-list land can tell me what city this is?
Steve Maas
[
] "in a city, days distant, where trolley cars ran beneath grimy black
webbing that stretched in all directions, all converging in a desert-yellow
plaza downtown, the cars painted yellow a shade sunnier than the pavement
and trimmed in some tepid green -- messenger cables, hangers, and trolley
wires sprung from brackets on wood poles trembled and sang and cast shadows
of intricate frogwork as sparks went crackling, nearly invisible in the days
glare." (VL 242)
