Not to witness the business in the sleek building, but the busses parked in the lot in the back. It was like a who's-who in transportation ... why you might even see one of those articulated double-jointed Golden Eagles in town for maintenance!

Editor's Note and Update:
This photo and description were dated 2000 when the Original Alexandria Retrospective was written. A widely-acclaimed project is underway in 2009 to preserve and restore this building for use by the Central Louisiana Red Cross
