So, Mr. Mulgrew lost last night. And so did the marijuana issue. And the car rental tax. But damn, we can tax enough for $390M for new schools because our kids bitch about "too hot/too cold/cracks in the walls".
You know, we had cracks in the walls. And it was too hot in the spring and fall. (No a/c) And too cold in the winter (inadequate boilers, since fixed). And we had something called "asbestos" in our walls and ceilings. (Again, fixed).
Know what finally made them build a new building? Kids complaining about too few bathrooms because they had to go down the hall to use another one.
I wonder what will happen to our old elementary school. It wouldve made a kick ass house. Sections were built in the 1910s and the 1940s, and an earlier 1900s (or earlier) section was replaced in the 70s.
Oh, I still wish that 1910s building was the school. It had a scary dungeon where my kindergarten classes were held while they built the new section. And a scarier cafeteria which was UNDER the gym/theatre combination.
Ah, memories.
