the trolley returns!

It's pretty easy to figure out where our streetcar goes just by following the
tracks, but there is an additional transit system which was started last summer
- a rubber-tired trolley which runs primarily north and south in contrast to the
east-west route of our current electric streetcar.

The City of Kenosha's seasonal lakefront rubber-tired trolley operates on a
route from Carthage College, 2001 Alford Park Drive, through downtown and
south to Kemper Center, 6501 Third Avenue. The rubber-tired trolley departs
Wednesdays through Sundays at 1:45 p.m. from Carthage College and is
scheduled to arrive at the southern end of its route about 30 minutes later at
Kemper Center.

The trolley route passes several art galleries near the Union Park neighbor-
hood. Other highlights on the route include the Kenosha History Center, the
Civil War Museum and the Kenosha Public Museum. At 30-minute intervals,
the trolley is scheduled to reach the downtown transit center, 724 54th St.

There are marked stops for the "Lakefront Trolley" along the route, but peo-
ple also can flag down the driver for pickup. Look for the rubber-tired trolley
next time you are in Downtown Kenosha for a quick trip, or just for a scenic ride
through the neighborhood. Fares are $1 for adults and $.50 for children. Call
262-653-4287 with any questions.

why downtown?

by Lew Aceto, S.J. Crystals

"We have a rich history all throughout Kenosha; we had a number of different loca-
tions in Downtown Kenosha, we were down next to the First National Bank on 6th
Avenue, before that we were up on 56th street near the train tracks. The earliest I
remember was in the late 1950s, I was in kindergarten, I remember moving to the
building that now holds Something Different from 1963 until about 1982 or 1983.
What had happened that time, was the downtown began to deteriorate, a lot of the
stores had already closed, the pedestrian mall came in, the big, enclosed, shopping
malls came into the area. To be truthful, the pedestrian mall had nothing to do with
it, people's shopping habits were changing, that's all. It was a culmination of a lot of
factors, many of the old time retailers down here were retiring and dying off, their
families did not take over, so they were done. The same could have happened with
SJ Crystals had I not loved the business and wanted to carry on with it. In the early 1980s, Pershing Plaza became "Downtown West,"
Holleb's, Elliots, Fanny Famer, Herberts all relocated there. After a sour stay at Southport Plaza, it was a relief to come back Downtown on
July 1, 2004. The area was reviving and we were looking to join the party, there are some great things going on in the downtown area, and
as more people begin to catch on, it will just continue to grow. It is wonderful being back!"

by Erin Merritt,
Modern Apothecary

“I have always wanted my own pharmacy; that has always been my dream.
This is a fantastic building, and I love the fact that it used to be a pharma-
cy. Downtown has been lacking any pharmacy presence prior to this, so I
thought it would be a good opportunity. I think the downtown area has
great potential, as far as being revitalized; they have a fantastic business
sense down here, and I think it will only be getting better.”

Michael and Vicki Luteran of Iron Horse Winery (pic-

they hope will soon be among your favorites. The decor of
Iron Horse is charming, with checkers, cribbage, and other
activities available while you enjoy one of their specialty
wines with a cheese tray. If you are not a fan of wine, don't
fret; they also offer some great beers, including Spotted
Cow. Life moves pretty fast these days; stop in to Iron
