Streetcar Sunday - Chautauqua Lake, New York

Imagine! You could take your mother on a nice outing for mother's day on this spectacular double deck streetcar with views of Chautauqua Lake. The message, written on March 15, 1908 says, "You should have some of these in Buffalo." Well, we should have some of these everywhere as far as I'm concerned (except maybe on those steep hills in San Francisco.)

There were double-deck streetcars in a number of places, but it is fairly rare to see them today. I wish I could tell you more about this card. What was the event? If you know more, please chime in.

  4. Wow a double decker. It looks a little top heavy. It certainly is an old timer.

  5. Quite the stately street car. I notice the seats conveniently look out at the view.
