This cover demonstrates several more reasons not to hate the proposed Cincinnati Streetcar.
Reason #132: Streetcars are sexy.
Reason #133: Streetcars in Cincinnati have an alliterative quality.
Reason #134: Streetcars are macho.
Reason #135: Streetcars make convenient metaphors and similes.
Reason #136: The Streetcar: The Cadillac of Public Transportation
