Inspired by the plethora of innovative proposals for the Woodrow Hall Jumpstart Award, Woodrow Hall Editions decided to offer the runner-up some monetary assistance for their project or program idea, as well.

In April 2011, the recipient of this funding was John Bloner, Jr. of Kenosha Community Media. In partnership with Southport Press, the Kenosha Writers' Guild, Kenosha Transit and the Rhode Center for the Arts, John arranged for local poet-artist pairs to produce placards of their collaborative work and have them installed on five historic streetcars. These brightly-painted vintage trolleys journey two miles past museums and parks in downtown Kenosha. Go to trainweb.org/twerhs/kenosha.html to learn more and see them in action!
