This year's Boston Trolley Meet certainly had the look of a winner in that it was hustling after about 10:30 ! I have never seen a BTM that busy ! I hope that all the merchants were rewarded for lugging their goods into the show. I had a great time. It was nice to meet some of you in person. (Joe D. - I couldn't connect with you later in the day to give you your subway dust won in one of my quizzes, so I'll make it up by setting it up so that you can have free admission to tonight's BSSME Club - just tell 'em I sent you !) I picked up a beautiful O scale Springfield Terminal Railway Company combine to add to the collection and enjoyed looking over the MBTA's No. 2600 GMC bus. (Reminded me of my daily shuffle to the Thomas Hart School in Southie from the Columbia Point Projects in those !) By the way, if you happen to be up that way, just up the street two blocks is "Brothers" cafeteria which I found for breakfast. It's in the old cafeteria style and my breakfast was delicious. Thanks to Brad Clarke for the suggestion as well as setting up this year's show.
