The photographs in this series were taken c. 1977 – 1979 at the Bus Depot Mall on Portage Avenue and Balmoral Street, Winnipeg MB. At the time I worked close by and passed through the mall frequently. There were two bus lines operating out of the facility; Grey Goose and Greyhound. Grey Goose serviced all of the smaller communities and Greyhound ran between major centres.  Watch the slide show below and/or scroll through the images to read the captions.
