There's something about riding in an open-air trolley that makes us feel like kids again. This Uptown car happens to be air-conditioned, too, for those swletering days in Dallas. The route spins through all the dining, shopping and entertainment hot spots between McKinney Avenue and Woodall Rodgers Freeway.
