Scope and content
Tacoma Mayor Ben Hanson, in center, holds up for inspection one of the cakes made for the Grand Opening celebration for the new, million dollar Greyhound Bus Terminal at 1319 Pacific Avenue. Assisting him are, left to right, I.L. Mullins, Greyhound Division Manager, and Sherry Lee Holmes, Miss Tacoma of 1959. They are surrounded by some of the several thousand spectators who came to the ribbon cutting ceremony. The cake was served in the Post House Restaurant, in the station, after the ceremony. The Greyhound station was torn down in December 2000. (TNT 4/5/1959, pg. A-16, 4/6/1959, pg. 4)
