Clio Streetcar in the Early 1900s

Text

The Clio streetcar line opened in 1867 and ended service in 1932. Also known as the "C-L-10," this route once connected the uptown and Marigny (downtown) neighborhoods. The street, accompanied by the other eight muses, intersects a portion of St. Charles Avenue originally named Cours du Nayades in the mid-1800s. In the video below, the late journalist and historian Charles "Pie" Dufour, in what may have been his last formal interview, explains the nickname for this line.
