Glen, I have the same distance misperception. What seem like a 2 miles to elementary school was actually .8 miles. Junior high school was behind the elementary school, so it was the same .8.

Took the bus until fifth grade, and then we started riding our bikes. Parked them out front.

Junior high school started with seventh grade. Rode my bike for the first two years and then was too cool for that, so I walked. During the fall football season, buses were not running that late.

High school was 4.2 miles and started with grade 10, so I took the bus the first year. They had a little Mercedes bus system that I would take home after football practice. My junior year, I got to drive our 74 super beetle alternating days, since I shared a parking spot with a friend. The days I didn’t have a parking spot, I had to find a spot, and hopefully not get towed.

After going through the entire school system, kindergarten to junior year, I moved the summer before my senior year. I was bummed, but made friends that moved to Atlanta/Dunwoody, their senior year as well.
