The Setting:
Saint Paul’s “Green Line” light rail train looks like a futuristic monorail painted cheefully in blue, yellow, and white. Inside, it’s a smooth ride on comfy seats with big windows through which you can watch University Avenue and all its varied shops and restaurants go by. It moves fast, but stops often, so it’s not a quick way to get places. But with all the different passengers and places to see and hear, it’s an interesting ride for sure.
Synopsis:
Imagining two St. Paul trail blazers from the 70s meeting on the new light rail between the Twin Cities. My, how the world changes.
