My dad actually did have to walk uphill both ways ... He walked uphill from home in the morning, then uphill to his uncle's house after school. Sometimes there was snow ...

I’d do anything for kids to be able to walk to school again. I know it was seen as a bad thing back then, but imagine if it was safe enough / close enough so that kids could get to school independently and walk with their friends?

Through the park and by the tree

We will rest upon the ground

And look at all the bugs we found

Safely walk to school without a sound”

I wish the US’s infrastructure was better planned so that walking was a more convenient option for getting around to different places, in general.
