EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Greyhound Bus and Air Lines Terminal on Washington Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan, USA, stands proudly as a symbol of modern transportation in the late 1930s. The Art Deco building, with its sleek lines and grandiose design, exudes an air of sophistication and progress. The terminal, built by the Consolidated Gas Company in 1937, was a hub for both Greyhound buses and air lines, making it a vital connection point for travelers looking to explore the United States. The photograph captures the bustling scene outside the terminal. Greyhound buses, adorned with the iconic Greyhound logo, are parked in neat rows, their engines idling, ready to whisk passengers away to their next destination. Passengers can be seen milling about, checking their tickets, and loading their luggage onto the buses. In the background, a small aircraft takes off from the nearby airfield, adding to the sense of excitement and adventure. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the social landscape of the time. Women in elegant dresses and men in suits and hats can be seen waiting for their buses or hailing taxis. Street vendors sell snacks and souvenirs to passing travelers, while porters help load luggage onto the buses. The scene is one of energy and movement, as people from all walks of life come together to embark on their journeys. This photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the transportation landscape of the 1930s and the role that the Greyhound Bus and Air Lines Terminal played in connecting people and places across the United States.
