93 million!! Good heavens! 
No wonder Birmingham was said to have had the 2nd most extensive streetcar system in the nation. |
I wonder why the city got the bright idea to rip it all out...the infrastructure was there and no one, not a single person in charge, had the foresight to consider congestion and urban flight issues...
Just makes me wonder when and what the next big blunder for Birmingham will be...let's see, rails to natta, loss of the "big" airport to Atlanta, what is the blunder of this quarter century?

It's GM's fault
