On her last day as substitute driver, Felicia Allen, had an ice cream sandwich for the road. Like the other Greyhound bus drivers on the Nashville to St. Louis run, she loves the new location inside the BP Station (BP= "Bus Place") because it's easy to get in and out of, and give the passengers a brief break, time permitting.
Although regular driver Donna Bellamy will be back next week, Felcia said she'll return again whenever if a replacement driver is needed.
One of the pluses of the buses stopping at the BP Station at 905 E. Main St. is more PackageXpress shipping business, which means meeting customers like Rob Schantz and Chuck Moore, who orchestrated last weekend's Cascade of Colors balloon fest at the SI Airport, with 4 trunks of balloon-gear shipped by Rob from Florida.
