Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The arrival on Monday morning of the city's first working streetcar in more than 50 years was overshadowed by the Royals' World Series victory. But dozens of residents, city officials, and transit leaders, gathered in the River Market to watch streetcar #801 roll onto the tracks.

"I don't think I could find anything to make me any happier, frankly," says Kansas City Mayor Sly James.

"We've got a championship team. We've got our first streetcar delivered. Both of those things say to me, Kansas City is moving rapidly. I just absolutely love it, it's a great feeling. We're succeeding. And there's nothing like feeling success, and this city is successful right now. We just need to keep it that way."
