The metro areas have far more kids who walk or bike to school, or wait for busses in community/neighborhood designated spots versus rural schools where tons of kids are dropped off at the door by parents, or have a bus that pulls into their driveway.
There are tons of rural schools closed too. In today’s litigious “it’s not our fault” society, schools have no choice but to play it safe.
guess i’m not privy to what transportation for schools in the gig metro are, so makes sense.
and dutchy……i totally agree………i see the neighbor gal out and about in this……she dresses like 40 above in this crap!!!!!!!
