Not to worry you

You sent
But there’s a police officer in here
Enter
You sent
The greyhound station here … there’s been 5 murders
Enter
You sent
The restaurant isn’t working cuz somebody shot it out the other night
Enter
You sent
And he says something bad happens every night
Enter
You sent
And tonight they’re dropping off 15 convicts from leavensworth to get on the bus I’m riding to Denver
Enter
You sent
And sometimes they get a little rowdy
Enter
You sent
Really don’t want to hear this… fuck
Enter
You sent
I guess I can’t just go running out of here to cancel plans but all night with 15 convicts sounds crazy
Enter
You sent
He knows his crime stats… he said stay out of Memphis St. Louis and Baltimore… those are indeed three of the worst
Enter
You sent
This might be the last of my riding Greyhound ever… I didn’t realize that’s how they release convicts. I did sit next to one once on a trip out East
Enter
You sent
And I guess the place is gonna turn into a madhouse in a few hours when they dump off a bus from Detroit
Enter
You sent
That officer said something happens every night… wtf!
Enter
You sent
But it’s not the safest to walk KC streets at night either and where would I go how would I get there… so I’m just dealing.
Enter
You sent
I could just puke hearing his tales
Enter
You sent
I’ll just try and stay calm and keep my wits about me without looking anyone in the eye
Enter
You sent
He said he put a convict on the bus in handcuffs once and I guess ‘once’ is reassuring compared to twice
Enter
You sent
His folks live in Whitefish Bay
Enter
You sent
Maybe he’s just doing his part to spread the fear and keep it Republican
Enter
You sent
Who knows, he wants to retire to the gulf coast
Enter
You sent
He’s got two Purple Hearts serving in war
Enter
You sent
And has a synthetic stomach
Enter
They shot him in the stomach
4 babies delivered here so it’s 4 babies to 5 murders
Enter
You sent
But the hole in his stomach was from an AK-47 right here
Enter
You sent
‘Weed is legal. Been legal for two years. Toke it up brother.’ - the cop to some random guy
Enter
He's calling out my bus 75 minutes in advance
Enter
Omg. So things got even crazier after that, much crazier — the stories and the stories the other passengers and the gun knowledge and the prison knowledge and Suge Knight and every serial killer in Missouri and Joe Gotti and these people knew every detail of everything — I cannot even convey — and this all being outside of my knowledge my mind is just blown that everyone knows every detail of the witness protection act or who’s son got 1 yr after Joe Gotti this and
But I don’t see any convicts on this bus and if they’re arriving it will be not seated near me I’m around safe people. I cannot even convey how intense and detailed these people got on everything from prisons to convicts to Joe Arpaoiia
Enter
You sent
He’s lived in Madison Milwaukee and Racine — so have I!
Enter
You sent
Where’s the money in Phoenix? Everybody knows exactly where except me cuz they all lived there
Enter
You sent
Scottsdale and Gilbert that’s where
Enter
You sent
Everyone knows the details on every mansion rich neighbohoods
Enter
You sent
Everyone’s got kids
Enter
You sent
But the 42 yr old convict and his wife moving back to Phoenix cuz snow is what scares them
Enter
You sent
Driving in the snow
Enter
You sent
And here’s me, too out of it to even know it’s a security guard, not a cop, til he’s up close and I could read the patch
Enter
You sent
No convicts. Bus is on time
Enter
You sent
Holy moly. I wish I could have recorded them so you could have heard this… ever single detail on every Missouri serial killer and how prisons are constructed in Phoenix and what it’s like being in this specific Supermax which they know every detail of to be convicted in it or working in it and how Illinois is sending every young black man 15 to 16 to jail for gun possession and this and that every detail about everything law and order and how guns work and how bulletproof protection works and what kind of gun can penetrate it to what extent and how and all 4 of these people knew every detail and I’m just thinking uh I’m gonna piss my pants Just hearing about this all
Well there we go thanks for the adventure america. I sure wouldn’t get those stories anywhere else where these problems are already solved and rich serial killer farmers don’t have insurance murdering schemes like they do in Missouri
Anything for $ — Faye was the oldest woman on death row. They had some complex scheme of hiring drifters then shooting them
That was one of the guys who knew all the details but not as many as the guard with parents in whitefish bay who ‘think he’s a loser’ cuz his dad was VP of a company and at 59 they still think he’s a loser, and the ex con from Phoenix
Did I mishear him? Was he making it up to fuck with people? I have no clue but the convicts did not show, just the one convict from Phoenix who was let out 15 years ago
And every detail on how the cell phone tracking law was changed when the guy dropped anonymous tips about what body parts he put where to tease the cops and they all knew and all inside the prison walls and Wilcox AZ and Florence AZ and Supermax every serial killer in Missouri every detail on how every body was found and how Joe Gotti's family was prosecuted, the sentencing details, but

And somebody killed somebody in the restaurant here over a bucket of fried chicken so that restaurant is boarded up. Maybe headed to Texarkana but not sure. One was an ex con who was in some Arizona Superman. Security guard worked in arizona and lived in Madison, Milwaukee and Racine (so have I) They knew Every Detail of Eveeyrhing. I mean like every fucking detail of Joe Gotti’s witness protection program to the specific amounts of cash to how much every member of his family got sentenced to in prison.
They knew every detail of which gun shoots through Kevlar and bulletproof vests to which extent.
When ya got 17 grandkids but just gotta serial kill drifters for the money which is the most Grant Wood American predicTble thing ever.
And the security guard will be getting $5000 a month in retirement which is ‘nothing’ — everyone agreed
Enter
You sent
That’s nothing that buys you nothing
I felt incompetent about every single thing
Enter
You sent
It was a wide range of knowledge
Enter
You sent
Cuz dad was a boy
Enter
You sent
VP
Enter
You sent
It’s like are you kidding me yr a fucking hero
Enter
You sent
The money isn’t the interesting part of the story tho
Enter
You sent
It was all the crazy knowledge of everything guns, Amsterdam Missouri cops tackling you, everything prison, everything serial killer
Enter
You sent
I have never heard this in my life I don’t even know how they learned all this like advanced algebra and lightening quick
And that leather man knew a lot for being a 31 yr old leather man from the middle of rural knowwhere

You sent
Arizona that temp camp city and they knew everrything
Enter
You sent
Approaching Abilene, KS where President Eisenhower was from. All is calm on the bus.

Greyhound Bus Station 1947
Esther Bubley took many pictures of men, women, and children in the waiting room at the Greyhound Bus Station at 245 West 50th Street in 1947. Here are six of them. The most popular activity seems to have been sleeping.

The photographer starts at the Greyhound bus station on Main St next to the Union Pacific Depot. They turn on to Fremont St facing Overland Hotel (2 Fremont St) and east towards Monte Carlo Club (15 Fremont). On the corner of 1st Street is the building with the Pioneer Club rooftop sign. Another block to the east is Eldorado Club. Photos from Dok.
