EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) _ The neon lights of a nearly 80-year-old former Greyhound bus station in downtown Evansville are shining again following a restoration of the building's Art Deco exterior.
A crowd of about 500 people burst into cheers Thursday night when the station's blue and amber neon lights flickered on during a ceremony.
Evansville resident Janis McLaughlin explored the old station's interior after the lighting. She tells the Evansville Courier & Press (http://bit.ly/1Bn51bX ) that it was “like taking a walk in the past.''
Indiana Landmarks President Marsh Davis says the statewide preservation group hopes to find a restaurant to open in the space and finish the historic building's interior.
The building opened in 1938 as a Greyhound bus station. It closed in 2007 when a new terminal opened at another location.
