4 January Website: Lolley the Trolley Recap We all had a good time on the "Tinsel, Tales and Trees" Tour on Lolley the Trolley, Dec. 11th. Fourteen of us, including 4 children, saw Public Square's light display and stopped to peek through the fence at the Stadium that was converted into a winter wonderland of ice skating, tubing, etc. Then back on the trolley to the Playhouse to see many beautifully decorated Christmas trees,all the while learning about Cleveland's historic landmarks as the driver/guide narrated. We passed the Nationality Gardens, a Severance Hall, the Glidden Masion, the Art Museum, etc. Afterwards, we stopped at McDonalds for lattes and hot chocolate.
