Jamestown Street Railway Trolley Car #93 Restoration Project

Local Commentaries

With the coming of 2026, Jamestown Street Railway Trolley Car 93 will have reached its 100th year mark. First put in service in 1926, it was one of the many street cars that serviced passengers somewhere within Erie County, New York, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and Chautauqua County, New York. It is arguably the last surviving stand-alone car remaining from these areas. Today most people when they hear the word trolley think of the trolley replica buses that are a common sight for various local mass transportation users.

It’s Time For Newly Elected City Dems To Get Up To Speed

In Our Opinion

What really changes in Jamestown’s elected politics if Democrats keep their slim majority on the City Council after absentee ballots are counted in the at-large race between Democrat Daniel Gonzalez and Republican Michael Zanghi?

Many of the candidates - both Republican and Democrat - agree on many of the issues facing city residents. Many want to see more housing demolitions. Many would love to add police officers. They want increased code enforcement. Additional ...

Langworthy Omits Facts On Health Care

Local Commentaries

Congressman Nick Langworthy’s recent Weekly Update and quotes from his Westfield appearance featured in the October 8th edition of the Post-Journal, demonstrate that he continues to fail to tell us the rest of the story.

Reality, and the actual paperwork needed to apply for health care programs, tell an entirely ...

Be Careful Who You Vote For

Local Commentaries

A short story about why voting is important. Eight people are on a bus - three voted to drive off a cliff, two vote to go get ice cream and three do not vote at all because they don’t like either option. They all end up in the same place. The 2025 election results show 2,052,031 people voted in New York City for mayor: 1,034,350 for Zohran Mandani, 853,106 for Andrew Cuomo, 145,880 for Curtis Sliwa, 12,330 for other candidates, and 6,365 for Eric Adams. That equates to only about 25% of the population who voted. So now we have a Democrat Socialist Mayor of New York City. Mandani ...
