As a former res of NFNY we used to love coming across the border to go to the city cafe to drink as 19 year olds. A buddy of mine even pissed off the Rainbow Bridge. Yeah...good times. NFNY and NFON--brothers 4 life!

Wow. That sux. Thanks for the info tho.
I can seriously see this "people mover" idea coming back to life especially with development happening closer to downtown (Great Wolf Lodge). It'd be great for patrons of the GWL to be able to jump on a small-scale LRT train from their lodge to maybe Downtown and over to the Strip and Falls. Give tourists options besides dirving or taking cabs... it's always nice to explore a city while taking public transit or walking. You don't get the full effect of being a tourist if you're driving everywhere!
