I walked across a street with a light I had to wait for starting in 1st grade. I was lucky it was less than a mile away. By 4th grade I had to walk most of a mile to a bus stop. By 6th grade I was riding 4 miles to junior high, then 5 miles to high school. The 80s had still had huge land barge Cadillac's, early SUVs
When did I stop going out? When there was dialup internet and MUDs.
