Ken:

I should not vent my frustrations openly.   But I simply do not think  
the Baltimore Streetcar Museum is a place where Philadelphia PCCs  
(there are four or five of them there) and snow sweepers (two of  
them) belong.   It was originally created as a venue for Baltimore  
transit vehicles.   Even though I've been accused of being  
sympathetic to PCC cars after having written two books, I really  
cannot condone preserving every available PCC car on the planet.   I  
would much rather see them scrapped and the scarce resources spent  
instead on more rare streetcars or even old factory buildings or  
mansions or our national parks or perhaps even rare art.

There, that ought to start a real ruckus.
