September 7, 2014 COLUMBUS: 1943. "September 1943. Washington Courthouse, Ohio. Passengers boarding Greyhound bus." Esther Bubley, OWI
The name "Pennsylvania Greyhound Line" is above the window.
The names of Los Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia and New York also on the bus. The front of the bus has a sign for Columbus.
With all the gas rationing, the bus was a good alternative.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
