streetcar wisdom from the como-harriet line

streetcar wisdom, via stuffaboutminneapolis:

This was printed on the back of a 1944 Como-Harriet streetcar line ticket.

Six Mistakes Of Man

“There are six mistakes of life that many of us make,” said a famous writer. They are so well-founded that we are sharing them with you:

1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.
6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.


the twin cities no longer has a great streetcar system, but you can still get mulligan stew at mickey's dining car and a $2 ticket on the como-harriet line.
