Contrast that to the piece of crap design of the new station and I would take the makeover of the old any day. | ||

The older picture is great. Looks like it was "remodeled" in the 70's. Sad. They had style during the mid century. I swear, i was born 30 to 40 years too late! I love art deco style up to mid century modern. I wish we as a society would go back to more classic designs. | ||

Well Beadgrl--if you like mid-century modern, you might want to spin by the Cleary Guest House on the Windsor riverfront at the foot of Ouelette Avenue. It was designed by architectural firm Johnson & McWhinnie and built in 1957. It will fall shortly to make way for something called the "Peace Beacon". | ||

In 1963, jjaba worked the Travelers Aid Booth at Larned St. Greyhound Station. It was sleek with deck parking and all buses rolling inside on the main floor. Now it's gone too. Your Windsor Terminal had 2nd storey windows. Wow, what a difference AC makes, eh. jjaba wishes more public bldgs. had canopies so customers didn't have to dart in and out of the rain, sleet, and snow storms. Your station removed this comfort. Coming from Vancouver for example, passengers would get smacked hard with Ontario weather. jjaba, sitting next to a Scot with kilts on the Tunnel Bus. |
