The Dequatur (is that right?) district was hopping this morning with new buses, cops, crossing guards, and students!  Schools back. from. summer.  And the news media is excited!

• Channel 2 has an interview with Dr. Edwards, discussing enrollment and the first day of school.
• The AJC has some cute photos from a 1st grade class at Winnona Park Elementary.
• And we can’t forget the new CSD bus fleet!

Decatur Commissioner Scott Drake writes in…

Free hot dogs on Thursday! As a welcome back to school, Steinbeck’s, Ujoint & Oakhurst Market will be grilling in Harmony Park from 2:30-3:30.
The Pure Station Decatur will also join in and grilling hot dogs from 2:30 – 3:30 at the station on Ponce.

This is transport-options-obsessed Decatur, so we ain’t talking just cars, but also scooters, bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, etc.

Heck, we can even throw shoe repair into the mix for the semi-professional walkers among us!
