How far did you have to travel to attend elementary, junior high, and high school, and how did you get there?
I went to Jackson School for first and second grades. The school was less than a half mile from our home on Ardmore. I walked either through the fields or on the railroad track a part of the way. That trip was fun. Gathering wild flowers or balancing on rails or walking with friends made those trips special.
When we moved to Woodward Avenue, I still could take a part of my trip to school through a field or on the railroad tracks, but we were only about 3 blocks from the school.
Roosevelt High (including both junior and senior high) was only 2 blocks farther! Our parents never owned a car. So we weren't even tempted to want a car ride to school.
