Some Came Running (2011)
“There was the building and lot to rent. Then the cars to buy. Titles and licenses to be applied for, corporate papers to be made out, the contracts to sign. Frank did almost all of the work himself. For a week, they hardly saw him at the store and Edith and Al ran it. As he worked, he was already planning that if this worked out, if it paid for itself, he was going to get hold of a couple good secondhand buses in Indianapolis and start a city bus service in a year or two.
The building he finall...y rented was a block off the square on South Plum Street, one of a cluster of tacky little buildings that had never been replaced by anything better. It had been a rundown lunch counter, which had gone under a year ago, and had been in disuse since then and showed it. He did not care. He did not want a good building, he wanted a cheap one. And this one was on an alley and had a back lot on the falling hillside which had been built up level and would park several cars. He would rather have had a lot on Wernz Avenue, the main street, but nothing was available there, and he would not have paid the price if any had been.MoreLess
