The Riverfront Streetcar runs very close to the
Mississippi, but because of the levee system designed to keep the
water in its channel and out of the city, there is little or no
actual view of the river from the line itself.
Much of the route near here
is abutted by parkland and a well-used path along the levee, fine places for
watching river traffic, streetcars and a great variety and amount of
human activity. |
