April 9, 1952. On a lonely stretch of Route 66 in Arizona, a teenage girl named Mary Lou waited at a sun‑bleached bus stop with a cardboard suitcase and a dream bigger than the desert around her. She had left her small town before dawn, determined to reach Los Angeles and become a telephone operator - a job that promised independence and a paycheck of her own. The bus arrived late, dust swirling around its wheels. The driver asked, “You sure about this, kid?” She nodded. When she stepped onto that bus, she wasn’t just leaving home - she was stepping into her future.
This is the original print. The one on top was colorized by me...
