The Cool People Ride the T

As the Giants get ready to battle the Texas Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series in Texas, SFSU journalism student Anthony reports the following from last week:

Richard Rockwell, seated, and Richard Wagner rode the T to Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday. Rockwell lives near Third Street and bought his Giants gear at the stadium store. He has Wagner to thank for his 2010 World Series tickets, though.

“I have a friend who works for Major League Baseball and I pushed her for two tickets,” Wagner said.

He added that he didn’t want to put her out by asking for any more, so this will probably be his only game. Rockwell also attended Game 7 of the 1962 World Series against the Yankees at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park.

What’s your favorite F-Market streetcar?

F Market

I don’t know about you, but when I have to take an F-Market, I do my best to relish the experience. That, despite sometimes excruciating wait times, burgeoning wait lines, absurd amounts of tourists …

One of my favorite things is the diversity of the fleet. Also, did you know there’s a non-profit organization devoted to preserving historic streetcars of San Francisco? It’s called Market Street Railway. And yes, they have a great website/blog. Check it out.

You probably already have some descriptors for the different types of streetcars out there. But take a look at MSR’s list of all the cars in the fleet, and let us know what your favorite is. There’s: the antique streetcars; the so-called Wheels of the World cars, and the various PCC streetcars. Each has its own unique charm and amenities. The mint green San Diego reminds me of cruising along a beach in an El Camino on a hot sunny day. Or is that just me?
