From the H Street Runners:

“Make 2023 the year you leave the streetcar in your dust. To celebrate (almost to the day) the 7 year anniversary of the H Street Corridor Streetcar, come join us for our 5th annual “Running of the Streetcar” !!!

Think you’re faster than the streetcar? We bet you are, but come find out for sure on Sunday, April 30. Just think of the famed Running of the Bulls at Pamplona, except for this event your goal is to outpace a big, red mechanical beast — H Street’s infamous streetcar!

Date: April 30th
Time: 2:00 pm
Location: Wunder Garten Read More

Thanks to Beth for sending around noon yesterday:

“Someone not only turned onto the streetcar bridge but kept driving until he hit the literal tracks.”
