The idea of building a modern streetcar in Cincinnati was hatched 15 years ago, some 2,400 miles away from the city.

It later gained momentum in a Mount Auburn ice cream parlor.

And now, after wending through twists and turns and hurdling through mountains and molehills, the idea becomes reality.

Here's a look at the Cincinnati streetcar's journey to Friday's public opening

Reading through that makes you realize it really is a miracle that the streetcar is opening at all!

It shouldn't have been this hard. Grand Opening Ceremony is this morning at Washington Park at 10:30 (I think) and then service starts at noon. It will be free all weekend. Also several bars are offering 15% off if you mention the streetcar. A few bars have streetcar inspired cocktails while Moerlien and Rhinegiest have streetcar inspired brews. I'm working all day today but will come down tomorrow for my first ride. Very exciting.

Now we need to focus on next years city/council elections...
