Back
in 1956, if you wanted the Greyhound bus to stop
at the Palms Grill Cafe on Route 66 in downtown
Atlanta, all you had to do was go inside, flip
the switch and illuminate the small, red light
bulb attached to the bottom of the Grill's large
neon sign. The next bus coming through town
would then stop and pick you up. It's been
several decades since the last scheduled
Greyhound bus stopped at the Grill, but one
appeared Friday afternoon.
It
was a circa 1956 Scenicruiser, driven by John
(sorry, we didn't get his last name...), who was
traveling Route 66 to Amarillo, Texas. The sweet
diesel fumes had barely dissipated after he
stopped, when a small crowd gathered for photos
and a quick look inside his bus. Hundreds and
hundreds of classic and antique cars have
visited Atlanta over the past few years, but
John's Greyhound
has to be one of the more unique vehicles to
pull up and park.

Friday
a significant change was made at the former Hundman Lumber on
Woodlawn. Alexander Lumber had their new sign installed
over the front door of the main building. Alexander
purchased the Hundman operations several months ago and has been
working since to remodel and rebuild portions of the facility. Once
the work is completed, Alexander will move from their downtown location
to a much-improved, larger facility.
