[quote=Anonymous]I always get annoyed by this "3 blocks apart" language. These are long diagonal blocks. It's significantly downhill and there's 5 intersections for kids to get through, one of which is unsafe because there's no stop sign (15th). If you're walking on East Capitol, .5 miles is like 9-10 blocks (which are easier to travel because it's level). It's more accurate to say that the schools are .5 miles apart. That's the same distance as it is from Maury to Payne and Peabody. I'm not saying that they are super far apart, but I think that the "3 blocks" language creates the perception that they are exceptionally close together. That's just not true. [/quote]
