Trolley

Anybody know if the trolley is still free?

Bama - that's so "up in the air" - Sometimes it is, & sometimes it's $1.00. Sure does save on a parking problem & on walking a long ways for those coming from out of town though....

The trolley from downtown...

may be free or $1, but the buses from, for example, McFarland Mall cost several dollars, my memory is $6. We've been using them the last couple of years or so. They do save a lot of hassle, and their logistics have improved a lot...

Hey TideHsv...

Thanks again for all the help yesterday & now for ANOTHER question...

What way do you use to come to Tuscaloosa from Hutnsville (or visa/versa) - I've heard of a couple of short-cuts exits some people use & wonder if they're worth the try when going up that way. NO RUSH on an answer! RJ

anyway but hwy 69.. there's construction going on on that one.

The Interstate...

is in good enough shape now that the fastest way is through B'ham. I second Jpas that #69 is faster, barring a major mishap on I20. AU game year before last, JessN and I were driving down through B'ham (he was in Scottsboro then and had driven over to meet me). There was a major wreck, tieing up the interstate for hours - some people didn't make kickoff. Jess took us from B'ham to T-town without touching the interstate. From time to time, we could look over at the cars parked on I-20 Park 'n Walk. I was impressed...

Thanks again........

Once I used that exit towards Hartselle, (highway 36 or something) ...Couldn't really decide if it shaved off a few minutes to make it worth the little 2-lane farm-road or not.....

Thanks for the info..You have become a MAJOR fountain of information in my life this last 24 hours!

#36...

is a death-trap. I two-lane farm road is what it should be, but a lot of 18 wheelers use it as a cut-through to I-65. I don't know what its fatality rate is per annum, but it's got to be up there. We used to use it a lot before I-565 was completed, but now we never do. We live on the north end of Monte Sano, so it's "easy-on" to the interstate for us. A lot of people in south Huntsville still use it to access I-65...

Well, GOSH !!

Didn't know that - THANKS for the info! Had no CLUE about all that on 36! Yep - I think 565 would be the best way in & out of HSV to use!
