7th and Cherry

At 7th and Cherry Streets, just one block north of the THH Hilton, the Multi-Modal Transportation Facility rises. I am told that long distance and local buses will meet there at a new parking garage. It will overlay the site of a small office where I applied for my first driving license on the north side of Cherry Street west of 8th Street 52 years ago. I remember parallel parking perfectly for the test on Cherry and that it was not yet a one way street. (Other pictures from that day)

between storms on the last Saturday in August

this is the way the new construction downtown looked:

From the old South Seventh Street Bus Stop, the new Terre Haute House Hilton exterior looks almost done - just hang a sign out above the corner, sweep the sidewalk and it's good to go. I haven't heard anything new about when the interior will be ready - Halloween is a good guess. (Other pictures)
