On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Does a leading question need a destination sign?

Submitted by Notcom on Tue, 10/15/2024 - 5:12pm.

I suspect WPB knows the answer, but this is Shorpy, not Perry Mason, so he gets a response (not a reprimand)

As for the "Then and now" feedback, a great deal remains: all of the low rise buildings in the foreground are gone - the terminal was @ Third/Town Streets, just south of the state capitol - but behind them the Ohio Theater and Beggs Building, to its left, are still extant; as is the Le Veque Tower

which looms in the distance (and creates the illusion of being a penthouse atop the Beggs.)

That's a Pennsylvania Railroad logo on the door. Was Pennsylvania Greyhound affiliated with the Pennsy?

update:

Thanks, Notcom. I actually didn't know the answer.
