Photo Friday: Old Ads on the Como-Harriet Streetcar
The kids and I recently rode the “Holly Trolley” in Minneapolis. This was our third streetcar ride this year. They love seeing the conductor and dropping their tokens in the fare box. My favorite part of riding the Como-Harriet Streetcar, though, is looking at the old ads inside the trolley.
Which one’s your favorite?
I love old ads…these are lots of fun. Thanks for sharing.
Nice ads. I like those old ads. Everything seemed so gay and innocent.
Happy WW

I invite your blog readers to see some photo of a Barack Obama getting his ‘just deserts’!

I am a sucker for these too. There’s this website called http://www.internationalposters.com where I have spent many a dollar on just this kind of thing (usually in foreign languages though!). Don’t visit, I’m warning you. You’ll be lucky to emerge with your retirement savings intact.

Those are fabulous! I particularly love the one for ludefisk — not too many ads for ludefisk any more except in MN and WI.

What a great idea. I love the square milk bottle ad. So how does Minneapolis afford not to put paying ads in the cars? Seriously? I would love San Francisco to try something like this.

Cool, love them! Some how they remind me a bit of the really old cable cars in Lisbon and Prague.
