Streetcars at the Pass, Vol. 1: The Story of the Mule Cars of El Paso, the Suburban Railway to Tobin Place, and the Interurban to YsletaIn 1881, the railroads came to the dusty West Texas town of El Paso bringing drummers, lawmen, gunmen, gamblers, ladies of the evening, miners, and untold others. They did not all have horses or buggies and the town fathers soon recognized the need for a mule powered streetcar system. This is the story of how those mule cars carried the colorful characters of El Paso around town and across the Rio Grande to Mexico. It is also the story of the spoiled

In 1881, the railroads came to the dusty West Texas town of El Paso bringing drummers, lawmen, gunmen, gamblers, ladies of the evening, miners, and untold others. They did not all have horses or buggies and the town fathers soon recognized the need for a mule-powered streetcar system. This is the story of how those mule cars carried the colorful characters of El Paso around town and across the Rio Grande to Mexico. It is also the story of the spoiled town pet, Mandy the Mule, and the remarkable survival of the car Mandy pulled, No.1. The author takes extraordinary care to separate popular legend from documentable evidence.

The story of early day mass transit would not be complete without the sad tale of Tobin Place and its railroad after the turn of the century as well as the intriguing tale of the much anticipated, but little used, plush electric interurban to Ysleta.

Cute
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Tan
Cute and great option for preschool that requires more tennis style shoes. Love the strap is longer and can be trimmed down. Seems to have nice support and daughter can easily put them on and off herself. Only downside is the the tan area scuffs pretty easily. We purchased a different pair last year (same brand and looks very similar) and they held up from scuffing better.

Beautiful shoes
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan
Beautiful dressy shoes! I used to get another version of these for size 6 when my daughter was younger, now she’s getting into size 7, I got her a pair of these. They look great on her and she loves them. Hope they will last a while. The size 6 we had were very worn because she loves them so much that she would pick them over all her other shoes.

Grand daughter likes them, she is 2 1/2 .win win!!
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan
My grand daughter loves these shoes. She is 2 1/2. They are comfortable on her. Her favorite was the white 360 walking shoe but they unfortunately don’t make them in toddler size. (Hint: make them in larger sizes - and why not? ). So I got her these. Stride Rite are good, comfortable shoes for little ones.

Could Be Better
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Tan
Look cute for a little while, then the toes peel as shown by other reviewers. It’s such a shame because my four year old LOVES the sparkly stars on the toes. I wish they made a more expensive version in a material that wouldn’t look worn so quickly.
