A little tired of adulting?
Well, Halloween has come right on time.
Unfortunately, going door-to-door as an adult in a kid costume hurling out the famous lines "trick-or treat" and raising an empty bucket painted as a pumpkin face will get you nothing but mere blank stares.
3 p.m.-7 p.m. Friday- Sunday, Oct. 28-30. Hop on at any Street Car stop. Cost $2 for 4 hours.
All forces full ahead when Pokemon Go is offering a weekend full of live entertainment that will keep you regretting nothing. The Atlanta Street Car and Partners present the first ever Pokemon Go Streetcar Experience. Poke players will take a journey around the city that will engage in over 40 Poke stops that can be activated from the streetcar alone for Pokemons to be battled and captured.
Riders will be expected to pay a $2 fee upfront for a four-hour ride. Just don't forget the custom-made Pokemon costumes for Halloween night, because a sweet treat and a free ride voucher will be the trick that seals the deal.
