Son, take a good look around.

I can't help it. Springsteen's "Your Hometown" keeps running through my head.

I took a little tour of our homes and schools. Not that it was a haven of safety and security in the early 1970's, but things are a lot tighter at McAllen High School. And I knew that with two or three other high schools, enrollment is much lower. That parking lot was always jammed when I was there. About half full now.
