Urban fringe of a large city

[raybear]

And here I thought all this time I grew up in a hardcore suburb.


Courtesy of http://www.schooltree.org , here are some facts and figures of my my school now. Only 19 white students and 11 Asian students? Wow. I attended middle school during the second wave of "white flight" in my neighborhood's history, but apparently there was a third one after I left.

I lived for six months in Gainesville, FLA when I was ten and my sister 12. Memories are coming back now from looking up her school on that website... she was REALLY badly bullied.
