GREYHOUND

A transcontinental bus ride on film and regional American meals are the main attraction of this pavilion. It is also home base for the Fair's transportation fleet of over 300 Greyhound vehicles.

* Admission: free.

Highlights

COAST-TO-COAST ON A BUS. Audiences in the Circle Theater stand on a slowly revolving turntable to view the history of the wheel in slide projections; a short but vivid film picturing America as it might appear through the window of a cross-country bus; and a map which glows in the dark, tracing Greyhound routes through the U.S. and Canada.

REGIONAL COOKING. Main Street, U.S.A., has three dining rooms: The Nantucket Room, the Federal Room and the Western Room. All three serve regional dishes: seafood, Southern cooking and beef. The pavilion also has a cafeteria.

SIDESHOWS. In a small theater Lady Greyhound, the company's live canine symbol, models dog clothes, and there are color films of various regions of the United States.
