Poor Sally

Sometimes life is just a pile Sally!

hang in there, Sally

Maybe it can be rebuilt. This storyline is rather depressing since my old elementary school was torn down at some point, and the place where it was looks like it was never there!

A dark plotline, but the building still having some thoughts and not being silent makes it slightly less dark.

“Love, love me do. You know I love you” (The Beatles)

So now Sally visits the brickyard. At least it’s a short drive from her house. Her parents won’t even have to drive very fast to get the the brickyard.

That last line by the brick is a great philosophical statement. When you love someone you also have to love them for the mess they make when they come unglued and have a self-deprecating fit!

Does his name happen to be Barney?

No relation to Barney Rubble of the Flintstones.

What’s gonna happen to the school now?

This situation is not just “academic.” Several years ago, we lost a school to a tornado. This year we lost the equivalent of 50 classrooms worth of space due to burst water pipes during a cold spell.

It costs money to rebuild, but it also takes time. What do you do with the students in the meantime?

Time to rebuild! No time for tears!

That school’s been bricked.

Considering Sally’s attitude towards education, I’m a little surprised that she likes the school so much. Perhaps a case of “it’s the content, not the container.”

“All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.”

“All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.”

School District is real lucky nobody was inside

Just another Brick in the Wall

No doubt to be rebuilt as in a mId century style. Stylish, but with less soul.

Kyiv P.S. 102

He had so much to live for.

Must’ve heard about the new curriculum.

Poor school. Just went all to pieces…

I halfway thought Sally would take a few bricks of school home as a memento. But, surely, soon the whole area will be cauldroned off to prevent scavengers like me away from the remains of school.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The proof of the pudding is under the crust.

Sparky always had a way with dealing with real life issues in a manner that kids could comprehend.

It was the removal of that soldier course. It tied the wall together.

Love persists…

Like a ton of bricks

Committed suicide, now its ghost must roam the halls of the new school building forever…

This saga is getting depressing.

There should be a collection of the darkest Peanuts strips… I’d nominate https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1998/10/25

You don’t know what you’ve got till it gone.

Suicide? In a comic? I know it’s a building, but dang! That was a LIVE building.

The lack of basic infrastructure started back then and accented by the Flint water fiasco, the i-35 bridge collapse, and other such problems. A trip to https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org is sobering,

Lol, this is just weird ’-D
