We are about to be inundated with Spring Breaking students and families. We have a schedule on our 10B. The biggest week of breakers is March 11-18. And, they will be constructing the turn lane during that time due to a delay with AT&T cable, and more. Hopefully the light is fixed.

But let’s be honest, the divide goes much deeper than one event.
