Kids Can Walk to School From Your New Home
More kids ride, rather than walk, to school in most cases nowadays; but imagine how nice it is for the families that live close enough to walk.
It’s September and all the kids are back in school.
Traffic patterns show the change, with most families driving their kids to school.
Some kids walk, but the increase of vehicles driving up to school grounds is definitely a sign of the times.

As a kid in Colorado, I walked the 10 blocks to school with my little brother in tow, walking in a bigger group as we encountered other kids on their way to Asbury Elementary.
When my kids were at , it was delightful to ride our bikes down the Iron Horse Trail, but the times of waving good-bye to children from the front porch are gone — I accompanied them door to door.
