TT Film - Mount Pleasant Then and Now

How pleasant is Mount Pleasant? We don't live there, so we don't know the whole story, but had we been there to ride the streetcar line that existed there from 1925-1976 we'd would have a better opinion.

In this retrospective from footage with Richard Glaze and Damian WK Baranowski and we can now see what was once there, on Mount Pleasant.

(NOTE: When we say that the Mount Pleasant Streetcar was replaced by diesel-powered buses, we know about the Mount Pleasant Trolley buses that ran from 1976 to 1991. However, there was a period after the streetcars departed and before the trolley bus wires went up, and during road reconstruction, that diesel buses were used. And, of course, the trolley bus route that replaced the streetcar was 74 MOUNT PLEASANT, and diesel buses still operate with that monicker today.)
