Chasing the Trolley

I love to ride The McKinney Avenue Trolley between downtown and uptown Dallas. I don't like driving in Uptown. I get all nervous and stuff when I have to drive on the trolley tracks. Am I in the right lane? Is this lane about to end? Am I going the wrong way on a one way? YIPE!!! Another reason I don't drive well in Uptown Dallas may be becuase I'm always scoping out the trolley to see if it's the one with our FUMC Dallas ad on the side. I love to look at it! I know the people in the pictures and I know their love and connection to their church...and I just love the way the thing looks. My friend, Brian Owens, designed it and I can't quit looking at it. Anyway, I guess if I practiced driving in Uptown more, I would begin to feel more accustomed to the streets, which restaurant is where and how to get to Tom Tom (yum! Great white teas they have) Maybe my favorite thing about the trolley is the visual connection it provides between uptown and downtown Dallas. So many members and visitors to First United Methodist Church of Dallas live in uptown and downtown but are all members of one community in each other's midst. This place connects the relevant and the traditional and is inclusive of everyone. Get on the trolley and come CONNECT!!!
