On Thursday night, December 29,  2011, I photographed some Christmas-lighted streetcars in Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas plus some shots in the daytime. It was a busy day for the streetcar system with lots of tourists.  A large group of about 30 tourists boarded at the Verizon Arena stop 9:15 p.m. They also had me take a picture of them with their camera. I had no idea they were going to be here, I just lucked out and was there anyway taking night shots.
