Eastbound Kenosha electric streetcar near the harbor. Kenosha Wisconsin USA. Opening day Saturday, June 17th, 2000.

I took this photo looking east on 56th Street toward the lakefront and harbor, in downtown Kenosha Wisconsin. The day was Saturday, June 17th , 2000. This was the official Grand Opening day of operations for the new Kenosha historic streetcar line. New Sod Grass was recently placed in the median on 56th street, and hadn't bloomed yet. This area is known as Harbor Park, and was yet still in the planning stages at the time of this photo, as evidenced by the wide open undeveloped urban spaces. There are now buildings and a nature museum in this same view today.
