Come Along For A Trolley Ride (House for Sale Philadelphia)

house for sale Philadelphia PA

"Clang, clang, clang went the trolley, ding, ding, ding went the bell."

Recall these words from the musical score “The Trolley Song” in the 1944 musical – “Meet Me In Saint Louis.” This American classic is one of the American Film Institute’s 25 greatest movie-musicals of all time that featured a family with four beautiful daughters living in a stylish Victorian home, who rode the trolley.

To experience a modern day trolley ride, come along on a trolley ride from the Drexel Park community to Media, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Delaware County. As you ride the modern day trolley ride, you will note that the Drexel Park station was built in 1924, twenty years before the musical and one of three trolley stations within walking distance from the house-for-sale Philadelphia, Pa.
