The third photo down shows a rare Eighth Avenue Coach Corporation GMC TDH-4509. Eighth Avenue Coach name soon disappeared after these buses were delivered, becoming part of New York City Omnibus Corp.

In 1968 if you had to make a phone call in that area. You would have to try 20 phones before you could find one that worked.

Untrue, as usual. Asshole. You weren't even born in 1968 so you know nothing.

True, most of the old building is still intact, largely unchanged and can be seen. The waiting room is now the ticket window area for example and the bowling alley never left.
