there didn't used to be a sidewalk here. we were told that we lived close enough to not catch the bus but they didn't give us a way to walk up. we had a joke that they must be training us to be in the circus because of the curb that we had to walk on to

crossing the highway which was much easier then you would think. most of the traffic this time of day was going towards the school so you didn't have to wait long.

looking left on the intersection. every single day that i walked up i would stand here and look down south and wish that i could just walk along there instead of going to school.

that's the school in the distance up along this road. they built this side of the road for us to walk on while i was in school. too bad, it was fun walking in the rocks and bristles.

this corner was not banked correctly so it feels like you're getting thrown off every time you drive up. this is also where the speed limit changes and the cops used to use their radar down at the other end to catch people.

this is the school looking pretty much how it did when i went. the real difference here is that they planted grass down at the bottom and put up some stairs where we used to jump down and kill the plants.

we played lots here on weekends and that last summer. it was nice that they put it in but the hoops themselves are so unforgiving: they all have to be net or they're not going in.

the school is made up of three buildings, this is the courtyard in between them. in grade eleven french class we would take our breaks and throw the football around hoping not to get it on the roof.

going home was a different route because it seemed faster. of course it did mean running down this incline and having to deal with at least two huge dogs that wanted to kill you.

if i walked with thomas then he would finish his five-alive at the end of the walk and toss it into an old concrete cylinder with all the rest from the previous days. when it was lee-roy and akash we would just try to stop being eaten by the dogs.
