Why back in my day.....
I know it was a different eon, but I walked to first grade in Pearl City, HI with my brother who was in third grade. In my mind I remember it was a full mile or more. In reality it was 4 blocks.
I was riding my bike to school in third grade in San Marcos, TX and msot years after that. In 10th grade we were back in Hawaii and school was off base and across several highways. I had to ride the bus, but I had to walk 1/2 a mile to the bus stop. Then we mover to Montgomery, AL and as a junior in HS I rode the bus until I turned 16 and I could drive my 1960 VW bug.
