It was buildings like that which helped me fall in love with bus travel when I was in college. Now look where it's gotten me...

For 9 years 1953-1962 I worked across the street from a bus station.  First in Lynchburg, VA on fifth st. then in Roanoke , VA.  Always love to see the old GM,s come and go.

Yup, the good old days before DOT had gotten out of diapers.  I rode a Trailways bus from Charlotte NC to LA, Ca---non stop (except for fuel, eats and "Bennies").  Same driver the entire trip.  Oh, I also remember that several sets of new bus tires were rolled in down the isle for delivery somewhere along the way.  This was the beginning of an eventful Christmas vacation.  There's more to tell but I'm already sure no one will believe what I've said so far so I'll leave the rest for your conjecture.  Jack

Sounds like the start of a campfire story to me!  

[dtcerrato]

Yes it does but doesn't mean it isn't the truth. Heck one night we were sitting by the campfire & someone fell out of their chair & the whole world shook - we all knew it happened because we were all there!

Jack, I'd believe it. Some of the busses Iv'e ridden in SE Asia end up with all sorts of passengers and then freight deliveries that are picked up and dropped along the way. In Myanmar, I had the spare tire wedged against my seat, and I'm pretty sure some folks got bumped from the bus when I showed up, a Westerner fare is worth more than what the locals pay. I bet it was fun back in the day seeing the US by bus. Craig

Vindicated.  Ha!  Thanks to The Hollands!  Jack
