A very nice laser etched plate with an image of a trolley, mounted on a pink granite base:
Trolley Dedication Day, 1910
The Trolley has become the unofficial symbol of Bellaire. Dubbed the "Toonerville Trolley" after a popular newspaper cartoon, it traveled across six miles of prairie bringing residents to high school, work, and the shopping mecca of downtown Houston. The trolley ran from 1910 until 1927.
