→Origins of Pensacola Streetcar Company
Wow! All my info was basically amateur tracking done in my free time...this map sheds a LOT of light and answers so many questions. Shame the system wasn't in some way preserved, I'm a big believer in mass transit and New Urbanism- perhaps if it had remained viable then its continued growth might've spurred more organized development rather than the unfortunate sprawl seen today.
==Errors?==
I'm noticing some discrepancies between the names and dates listed here and those mentioned in the official history of the [[Gulf Power Company]]. I'm inclined to trust the Gulf Power history, as the dates are more detailed, and the manuscript I got from Mr. Appleyard was just an early draft. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 18:28, 10 August 2008 (CDT)

Joe -- want to address a few things from the "Origins" paragraph:
# Do you remember your source for a [[John Cosgrove]] being a partner in the [[Pensacola Street Car Company]]? He is not listed in the act of incorporation.
# [[Kupfrian's Park]] predates the Pensacola Streetcar Company, and is specifically referenced in the act of incorporation, so it doesn't look like the park was created after the fact.
# Also, I wouldn't say [[Kupfrian's Park]] was in [[North Hill]]. You could mayyybe make the argument that it was on the edge of [[North Hill Highlands]].

:I think everything I wrote came from that unpublished manuscript Mr. Appleyard had, the accuracy of which I can't vouch for, so go ahead and change anything that conflicts with primary sources. The North Hill thing was probably my mistake (I sometimes clump everything "up there" together) so whatever you think is fine.
