But in the neighborhood where the new line runs, it's called the South Lake Union Trolley, resulting in a controversial acronym! <br /><br />http://www.ridetheslut.com/Robert in Port Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807813545873570119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-55298319575930486692014-10-29T21:35:44.582-04:002014-10-29T21:35:44.582-04:00Thanks for your comments, Chris and Michael.
