Bus Stop may have been the hardest working band in the Southeast. Based in Greensboro, North Carolina, Bus Stop played over 1,000 gigs from its inception in May , 1992 to breaking up in 1999. Bus Stop's tasty, R&B-flavored pop attracted a loyal fan base. By 1999, Evan Olson left Bus Stop, and began recording as a solo artist. Snuzz also records and performs, sometimes with the remaining members of Bus Stop. In 2000 Bus Stop's albums were compiled and released in Japan and in the USA on LoveCat Music.

Busstop Wijtvliet Antwerpen tweeduizend
Bus stop, wet day, she's there I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus go, she stays love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it
By August she was mine
My new (30 year old) camera seems to be fogging the film a little leading to hazy highlights that I'm trying to shop into submission
The Old Bookbinders pub in the left foreground commemorates the Oxford University Press Print Works which were situated close to this working-class part of Oxford. The 115-foot high campanile of St Barnabas Church, consecrated in 1869, dominates the area and can be seen here towering over the street scene.
Although there are plentiful buses along Woodstock Road, just a few minutes away, hourly Stagecoach route 17 brings minibuses right into the heart of Jericho. These are the Canal Street stops.
A rather crude sign informing passengers that this bus stop was closed. This was due to a hole in the road further up the road which had necessitated the diversion of all bus services that served this stop.

A 1955 Broadway hit, Bus Stop depicts a group of bus passengers forced by weather to spend the night together in the diner.
Embellished with sexual or romantic currents among the other characters, the plot “is driven by the explosive relationship between Bo Decker, a swaggering cowboy, and Cherie, a small-time ‘chanteuse’ who resents his overbearing attempt to make her love him,” Andrucki says.
“Students in the show are learning a lot about American culture during the early and mid-1950s. And audiences will have an opportunity to observe and think about the dynamics in a variety of male-female relationships.”
Other characters include Gerald Lyman, a flirtatious retired professor; Elma Duckworth, a bright but naïve waitress; and Grace Hoylard, the wary, well-defended diner owner. She will be played by Bates senior Jennifer Flanagan of Sherborn, Mass., as a component of her senior thesis in acting.
