[PRCo] Re: LEOW'S PENN THEATER

[Jim Holland]

Good Morning!!

	There is a possibility that this was the route at one time   ---   southbound on 7th and
northbound on 6th.   Coming southbound would necessitate the trip west on Penn to south on
6th to east on Liberty and right onto 6th!!   Check the North--Side--Video   ---   there
were comments in there about routing.   Also, Carl Schultz polled a number of us about
this possibility before putting out the video.   Maybe the car came south on 9th!(:->)

	.......And, while there may be nothing apparent in the photo for the re--route, if that
is what it is, something could have happened on the North Side that necessitated sending
the cars over 7th.

	There is a PTM calendar photo of an 11--East Street PCC heading outbound over the 16th
Street bridge and we have to assume that its normal route was blocked.   Anything could
and did happen, YES(:->)
