Greyhound Bus Station

The Greyhound Bus Station was located at 502 NP Avenue. The building was the location of an automobile garage for many years and then a bus station. The rebuilt bus station was constructed at a cost of $50,000 and opened June 30, 1942. The opening ceremony was broadcast live by WDAY and included the screening of travelogue motion pictures. A military theme keynoted the ceremony with the American Legion drum and bugle corps playing.

Northland Greyhound Bus Lines officials called it the finest facility between Minneapolis and Seattle.

I recall the station having a news stand at the right front with a lunch counter behind it. The left side of the building was a waiting room with large wooden benches and ticket agents. Buses arrived and departed at the rear of the building.
