It is not often bus stops make the news, but sometimes they do. Here are some of the stories I have seen or been sent. Whether to post a story is purely at my discrection.

& Homestead on Friday, June 17. Mother and baby are doing fine. The couple were on their way to the hospital when the baby was born (after about 2 hours of labor). Ancorage Alaska - June 4,
2005 - Bus-stop Fuss earns apology: The mayor of Anchorage has written to apologize to Alaska's Senior Senator for mis charcterizing the transit project at the Meseum of Hisotry and Art as a bus

Ancorage, Alaska - the $1.5 million bus stop. The city of Ancorage has been given $1.5 million by the US Government to improve the bus stop at the Museum of History and Art. Story posted by AP in
