This is the bus station in my hometownof Pueblo, Colorado. They had a very nice lunch counter when I was a young working girl. Have you ever traveled by bus? Although I prefer train travel over all other types of travel, I once rode all the way from Pueblo to Alabama for my cousin Tommy's wedding. My mom took me and her sister, my auntie Ann took my cousin Joanne. I remember our mom's packed a lunch and my cousin and I still laugh about it. I don't think we were 60 miles out of town before Joanne and I polished off our portions of that delicious fried chicken. As a 12 year old, I wasn't too concerned about the hours we rode on that bus but today, there is no way I would want to ride a bus. Back in those days if someone stirred up trouble. the driver called ahead and stopped in the next town with a police escort to take that person off the bus. Times are sure different today. Stop by and visit
Aw...MondaysLove is...apparently never rode the bus across country.
Sweet Dreams!
Lunch counters are such a good memory, but gone with the wind now. Just like drugstore soda fountains. I still miss both. And don't get me started on Five and Dimes.
ReplyDeleteI would love to ride the train across the country. I’m too young for lunch counters, but it looks like fun.

I used to ride Greyhound all over the place in my youth. I don't want to ride in a bus now either. What a lovely memory.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Anne. Love and hugs. ♥
I have never traveled anywhere by bus and no traveling of significant distance by train either... although we do take the train into Chicago once in awhile, for concerts & plays. I've only been on an airplane 3x in my life... and I'll be 65yo next month. I guess I don't travel much! *lol* ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI've traveled by bus, train, airp[lane and boat.....life is an adventure!
ReplyDeleteWe still have a drug store soda fountain here, it is much beloved by all.
ReplyDeleteThe busses are not what they used to be.
My mother in law and her cousin took a bus trip to Miss. from Florida for a family funeral. They were both in their 80's. Let's just say it wasn't a trip made in heaven...more the opposite, according to their quite comical description! I might like to take a train trip somewhere scenic, but not necessarily across the country. Just too many stops in crazy places! LOL. But I am glad you have such happy memories. Things were much different then. And I loved going to places where there were "lunch counters"...Woolworth's was a great one, with a soda fountain. Happy memories with my mom on shopping trips, ending up with a chocolate soda or a hot fudge sundae! I enjoyed your post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love Pueblo and still have a friend that lives there. I'm catching up on your posts. Sweet hugs!
