Speaking of trolley service...I was in Knoxville at Easter time to buy property. We saw the trolley stop at the Museum/Chocolate store corner and hopped on hoping to take a tour of the city (as we were from out of state and had not seen downtown yet). Each stop thereafter proceeded to pick up homeless looking people complete with camping packs and bags. Some spoke to each other by name as they boarded. We began to feel uncomfortable and got off the trolley in just a few blocks. I have taken several trolley rides in other cities to get a quick feel for that city. This was not a welcoming feeling for us. What is the purpose of this trolley system? Perhaps a nominal charge for the ride?
