Crossing the bridge from Covington, going right up and into the Dixie Terminal, was always amazing. Getting off the bus, passing the newspaper stand across from the store, and eating at Brothers Three, those were incredible memories for me.
Great documentary on the Dixie Terminal. Grateful to this day my parents allowed me to take the old GREEN LINE bus from No. Ky. to downtown Cincinnati to explore around the city. The great department stores and Kidds book store were places I frequented often.
Street railways even today have to maintain the street! Not fair since buses don't and pay road taxes to build more roads. Today there is not even road taxes on buses. Today's rail projects are expensive because of all the road improvements that must be done.
As a kid in the 50's, it was a big deal to take the route #1 bus from Edgewood to Cincy. Used to be that Government Square and the fountain were right out the front door. Later, starting in 1969 and after getting out of the Army, I worked as a programmer at Shillitos. I would again catch the #1 bus from Park Hills and ride into the Dixie Terminal. It was very much alive and vibrant. Many memories of the place. Next you need to do a piece on Mutter Gottes Kirche in Covington. My mother's mother's step father was Johann Schmidt who did the art work in that church and others in the Cincy area.
Dad's office was on the third floor. I practically grew up in the Dixie Terminal. It's still a beauty. Thank you for the pretty pictures.

I remember well riding the bus and riding up those ramps into the old bus terminal building.
My Dad worked in that building for 40 years with Western Union. Nice history lesson !
I vaguely remember riding the bus across the river an being excited but terrified when we went across the highways into the dixie terminal.
I would like to see a video on the PNC building
In the '60s and 70's they had a great bakery right as you would come out of the bus terminal.
Yeah i agree

Have you made a stop at the Carew Tower here in Cincinnati?
I'm very familiar with the Carew Tower but I haven't produced a documentary on the building just yet.

Loved when the bus went to Kentucky..
