When schools and colleges are in session, my neighbourhood is a sea of young people. Within a radius of five kilometres, I can count eight primary schools, and those do not include private ones. If you know anything about public schools, you will know there is nothing like a small one - they go the whole nine yards. Add at least five-day secondary schools and a private university with over six thousand students. If the young people got together and decided to overrun us, it would take just seconds.
It is a moody little town that thrives when schools are in session and hibernates during holidays because the economy is nearly solely driven by the school calendar. But there are those of us who live here, school or not. Being only a few kilometres from the centre of the storm, the centre is the most convenient source of my groceries.
