Greyhound station
Sacramento, CA

2008:

2014:
This Greyhound station was built in 1949. The interior floor featured a terrazzo "running dog". In 2008, it was announced that Greyhound will be moving to a new location. The new station opened in 2011. The signs were removed from this building sometime after 2011. I doubt the terrazzo was saved. There are plans to turn it in retail space and parking. The building remains vacant. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

The Greyhound station in Santa Barbara was built in 1953. In 2012, Greyhound moved to the train depot. The signs were removed and destroyed to protect corporate branding. The building remains vacant. In 2017, the building was demolished. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Greyhound station
Burlingame, CA
This former Greyhound station was built in 1939. The building's design was influenced by the train depot across the street which was built in 1894. Greyhound left the building around 1990 and the city renovated the building as office space. From 2005-2020, the building housed Sam's Italian Sandwich Co. The building is currently vacant. The painted running dog sign remains on the side of the building. [map]

Greyhound station
Redding, CA

2008:
2025:
This Greyhound station was built or remodeled in 1953. The original neon blade sign read "Greyhound Depot" and did not have the running dog. The building was demolished in 2013. The sign was removed before that and stored at the Shasta Historical Society. In 2025, the restored sign was installed at the new Greyhound bus station. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Greyhound station [gone]
San Jose, CA
This Greyhound station was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and built in 1957. The backlit plastic sign was installed then. The neon sign on the back of the building was probably installed at the same time. In 2016, Greyhound moved to a new location. This station will be demolished and replaced with two residential towers. The signs were removed and are now in storage at History San Jose. The plastic sign's frame was still on the building in 2024. Only the panels themselves were saved. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. [map]
