Lol I'm not worried about strollers, it the bikes that you gotta' watch out for. Especially the wrong-way riders in the directional bike lanes. And there's still some grit around. I see folks from the Pacific Gardens Mission on Canal on occasion as well as the occasional train hopper. Date: 10/18/18 10:46 Re: Two Firsts on One Train Author: kevink GP25 Wrote:

I do not recall seeing any cafe-type seating from my August trip to St. Joe.
