As I've been slowly but steadily going through the database trying to find updated photos, I've come across a few surprises. Today's was the discovery that Denver Tramways 54, which had been listed under the ownership of Old Spaghetti Factory, hasn't actually been owned by OSF for five years. The car hasn't gone anywhere, but OSF closed their Denver location in 2018 and, as they have done in other markets, abandoned the streetcar in place.
However, the restaurant's space was renovated by a pop culture-themed indoor mini-golf/bar/restaurant establishment (I have no idea), which kept the car in place. The photo above, from this article, shows that the new owners retained both the car's historic fleet number and its non-historic OSF paint scheme. The company, called Urban Putt, opened near the end of 2019 (oops) but apparently stayed open until they were acquired, or changed their name, within the last few months to Holey Moley. So, car 54 is still in place in a mini-golf/bar/restaurant setting. Its ownership in PNAERC has been updated accordingly.
