Great presentation! Thanks for posting this.

This was a fascinating tour of the Twin Cities. I just wish my father were still here to see it; he knew every square inch of St. Paul during this era and did not have a car, so was full of streetcar memories which he would share with me. One friendly suggestion: please try to find a larger cursor so it can be more easily followed. I had a hard time keeping up with your cursor. Again, though, thanks for all you do. It is wonderful.

Wonderful….all of your videos! . I grew up in SW Minneapolis in the 60s/early 70s between the south ends 4Como/Harriet & 6Xerxes/Southdale (MTC bus by then, of course.) We’d always heard the routes were based on the original streetcar lines, dıdon’t fully grasp it until finding the remnants/ old right-of-ways, etc. Your presentation videos -so well done!-really fill in the blanks, Thank You! Also, I now live just off Baker Rd N of Hwy 7 and believe there may have been an old stop very near? I’ve subscribed and will donate…keep up the great work! History is critical!!

Pretty cool that in the Lake Como shot 4:34, you can see the NE lobe of the lake in the upper left that's since been drained and is now part of the 18th(?) hole of the golf course. And practically no structures on the horizon just north of the lake.
