Is there really a streetcar named Desire?

There’s one on display for the tourists to gawk at in the French Quarter. I
forget where it is, but I saw it once when I was taking friends around.
Streetcars never had names – people used to refer to them by the streets they
ran on. “The Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams (what a great
title!) refers to the car that ran along Desire St. Today, the best ride is the St.
Charles streetcar that runs from the Garden District to the French Quarter.
