Viewing Album:  Georgetown Loop Cab Ride... in the Shay!
 
By:Mike Stimpson
Dates:5/22/2015 - 5/22/2015
Album Info:It turns out you can get a cab ride on the Georgetown Loop just for buying a ticket and asking (at least, you could last year). I stumbled into this by asking for the cab ride, and getting told to buy a ticket. You bet I was willing to pay for it! It was the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, and they were giving the Shay a test run.
