The trolley eases away from the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce and the Gulf breeze seems to push the city into motion — palms bending, seawater-light catching on storefront windows. Riders trade the hum of engines for the steady narration of local guides who point out Mediterranean‑style facades, old rail corridors, and the long curve of the Gulf that frames the town.
