"Repurpose" is jargon. --Wetman (talk) 07:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closing date

The article says that the Visitor Center "closed in 1978". The first time I went there was in late 1980, and I remember that it closed about a year after that because of roof issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.74.35.10 (talk) 13:13, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Parking garage

The new parking garage was one of the major expenses that helps make this project's full cost more realistic. The garage was not finished in time for the visitor center but it was completed by the time Union Station re-opened in the 1980s.--KJRehberg (talk) 03:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
