Thanks for posting Drew. My wife and I photographed the same TTC #1 is action there in 1999. Next week we're driving to San Antonio to visit our daughter and family but there's no need to go to the Pearl Brewery now. - Tony J.

NOTE to all!!!
I live in San Antonio, and there is a reason to visit the Brewery!
The streetcar in the pictures has been beautifully restored in side and out (nice job guys) And is on display under a small pavilion!
