re: #116 Barefoot Grin

Thanks for the rec. Many years ago I was talking to my grandmother about getting around when she was a young woman. She said that Illinois was criss-crossed by trains and there were smaller electric systems (interurban). It was our past, but the car largely destroyed it.

The car manufacturers helped it along. They bought up those interurban lines, then quickly dismantled them to create roadways for cars and trucks.
