All Aboard!!! The Ride & Remember Trolley Tour Takes Off Again

It seems people like their history in quaint, charming doses, aboard a red-and-white colored trolley bus.

Or maybe they like the personalized approach that walks them through the city’s historical and cultural districts.

Or maybe it’s the opportunity to get up close and personal with venues they always pass by, but never seem to have time to explore thoroughly. Or maybe they just need another way to entertain out-of-town guests, who are ready to do something other than recline on the beach.

Who knows why the Spady Museum’s “Ride & Remember” Trolley Tour is so popular? It just is, and it’s coming back for its monthly schedule, beginning Sept. 10. (Save your spot by calling 561-279-8883; cost is $15 per person.)

Every second Saturday, visitors board the signature trolley bus for a two-hour tour that is narrated by Charlene Jones and/or Brandy Brownlee. They stop at Old School Square, a rotating historical district and end with a walk-through of the Spady Museum.  Afterwards, several riders take advantage of downtown’s many restaurants to grab lunch.

A nice way to spend the day, as evidenced by the folks who sign up every month.

Some bring friends. Others bring family. All take away memories. Check out photos from “Ride & Remember” at Danika’s “I-Love-Delray-Beach.com.” If you haven’t climbed aboard, try to join us this year.  Upcoming 2011 dates are Oct. 8, Nov. 12 and Dec. 10.

Sponsored by Florida Power & Light and The Colony Hotel, the Ride and Remember Trolley Tours begin Sept. 10 and continue every second Saturday through 2011.
