Scope and content
Tacoma Mayor Ben Hanson cuts the ribbon, declaring the new Greyhound Bus Terminal open for business. Several thousand spectators watched the Mayor snipping the ribbon and dispatching the 7:30p.m. bus to Portland. His lovely assistant is Miss Tacoma 1959 Sherry Lee Holmes. According to Mayor Hanson, the new bus terminal "sets a pattern for the redevelopment of lower Pacific Avenue." In a stroke of irony, the building was demolished in 2000 as part of the redevelopment of Pacific Ave. (TNT 4/5/1959, pg. A-16)
