Greyhound Ticket Window

No comments.-

A transaction taking place at the ticket window of the Greyhound Bus station in downtown Jacksonville.  I’d place this photograph from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s and it was probably the Bay and Hogan Street location which predated the current Greyhound station downtown.  Great informational signage.

Duke It Out

No comments.-

No information left behind by Loyd Sandgren but judging from the audience this was a Navy boxing match, probably from the 1940’s.  Safe to say this was not the heavyweight division.  Looks like they could use a little meat on their bones.
