About forty years ago I first attended school at Hall Elementary on the southwest side of town. There's even a yellowed newspaper article with a photo of me attending the area's first Head Start class to prove it. (So, you see, my liberal friends, I actually owe everything that I am today to LBJ and the Great Society. ;) At the time the school was almost new, built nine years earlier to accommodate the post-war baby boom. So now, with only a half-century's wear-and-tear on the building, the Grand Rapids Board of Education voted on Monday to tear it down and construct a brand spanking new school.
