The Girl at the Desert Bus Stop (1952)
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.
