The Soviet Roadside Bus-stop
Departure from the common and boring , Next stop the wild and crazy

For the most part Soviet architecture and design is remembered for its heavy block buildings and functionally Spartan designs. Its overpowering desire for conformity left little room for individual creative freedom. A notable exceptions to this is in the transportation sector. One can admire this creativity in the Metro stations of cities like Moscow and Tashkent where the coldness and sterility of typical soviet urban architecture is abandoned and costs are not spared as creative freedom is unleashed. While many of us are aware of the elaborate splendor of the Moscow underground, it is easy to overlook the phenomenon of the common roadside bus stop as an example of soviet art and design letting loose and becoming a little weird and crazy.

Well - we've had more snow--yesterday was miserable around here on the roads--this morning some roads are VERY icey--the hill next to our house (which is a road)--proved too much for a vehicle that wound up in the farm field across from the stop sign.

Scanning the internet for new bus photos - I ran across this one:

King Long Bus (CB 4627U) Bengtat Transport - On the PIE in Singapore, 25th December 2010.

The Forrest Gump bus is one of the most popular buses we have on the floor--many car enthusiasts who come to the Museum even ask to see it....this is a unique picture of a new Lakeland Bus parked next to it! Don't you just love it!
