Yikes! I hope the motorman on this trolley is wide awake and proceeding slowly. If someone is walking down that street, there is almost nowhere for them to get out of the way. Clearly, these buildings and streets predate the trolley line......probably by a few centuries!

I'm very fond of the railway, but I probably wouldn't like this neighborhood.
