Bitch, Rant, Piss & Moan, Vent, Irritations, et al.

I don't know if this is just an Indiana thing, or if it's a common practice, the revitalization of Union Stations. I've been to the Union Station in South Bend and Indianapolis, both being beautiful and unique buildings.
South Bend Union Station:

Indianapolis Union Station:

Though they are small-ish, they were both heavily used at on time. Many people depended on the the railway for transportation. But with the development of autos and these two cities interest in providing ample road for the single driver over a more cost effecient and eco-friendly public transportation, the Union Station gradually became less and less used until they shut down altogether. I don't know how much, if at all, these places fell in to disrepair, but today they appear similar to how they would have looked in the past, only they aren't used daily, and you can't just walk in, at least very easily. They have been turned into banquet halls. Just pay the overpriced fee, and come, eat bad food, and enjoy the historical atmosphere. I am happy that these great buildings have been preseved, but what they've been turned into, I consider a travesty.

I dont know if it used to be a Union Station, but I do know the Greyhound depot in St Louis, is a former train station, with a very purty roof, and some massive ass pillars
