Robson residents await the arrival of the “A Train.”
Martha Callaway All Aboard for a good time! Just like the
words of the Duke Ellington classic jazz song Take the A Train, 28 of us did just that! We took the A Train from Denton, and we had a really good time. Steve and Debbie Pratt led a group of adventurous Robson residents on their fi rst ride on the new Denton A Train and the DART Green Line down to the West End in Dallas for a Saturday night in Big D on a beautiful late fall evening. “Hurry, get on, now it’s coming—those
rails were a-humming—all aboard, get on the A train.” That’s from the song, but it was our theme song also—hurry, all aboard, get on the A train. It was a scenic ride from Denton, then
a very quick transfer at Trinity Mills onto the Green Line with all of us keeping Steve well in sight as this was all new to every one of us except Steve and Debbie. No one wanted to be stranded in far-off lands. Steve, in red shirt, managed to get all 28 of us off of the A Train down the platform and onto the Green Line in the three-minute transfer time! It
took us just an hour and
ten minutes from the Denton station to get to the West End, probably quicker than driving time, and the senior round trip fare was $2! (Regular under 65 fare is $10 round trip.) Steve had made reservations for dinner at “The Butcher Shop,” one of the many popular restaurants in the West End, and we even had a little bit of the West End
