March 4, 2017-- PEARL REFUSED: 1943. January 1943. Washington, D.C.. "Pearl Ginsburg refused to have her boarding house rent raised." Esther Bubley, OWI. An obviously unhappy young woman sitting in her room.
Of course, something for her to think about was the tremendous scarcity of rooms in D.C. because of the war.
March 4, 2017-- ANOTHER PASSENGER: 1943. September 1943. "Greyhound bus trip from Louisville, Kentucky, to Memphis, Tennessee, and the terminals. Girl waiting for the bus by the road's edge." Esther Bubley, OWI.
This is out in the country and not in a town. With gas rationing and war shortages, trains and buses gained tremendously in popularity.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
