NEW ORLEANS STREETCAR
EPISODES OF AMERICAN ROUTES WITH NEW ORLEANS STREETCAR
FROM THE SHOW: LABOR DAY
The New Orleans streetcars, connecting the French Quarter to Mid City, the Garden District and Uptown, were taken out of commission by Hurricane Katrina for over two years. Hear what the streetcar means to drivers, mechanics, local commuters and tourists.
LABOR DAY
Lay back and take it easy while American Routes totes that barge for you with songs and stories of work on this holiday weekend. We remember Robert Young, better known as, Washboard Slim, and learn how a work implement becomes a musical instrument. Plus words and music of French Louisiana from the recent documentary I Always Do My Collars First. And meet some local five o'clock heroes... the drivers and mechanics that keep the New Orleans streetcars rolling, as well as the men and women that ride them.
