Do you want to write it?
• http://gazette.com/side-streets-cragmor-residents-say-uccs-students-flunking-civics-lessons/article/145212 - I am pretty sure I used this already for the background information. Is there something else you think should be covered?
• https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood/cragmor--colorado-springs--co/ - It would be cool to show the census information. I'm going to see if I can find a better source.

Kintetsubuffalo I added some comments and questions above. I was pretty aggressive looking for sources, so I hate to think of you bumping up against snafus while searching. What would be helpful is if you wouldn't mind looking over the article and ensuring that the info looks right - and it would be good to have a second set of eyes. Carole CaroleHenson I will get it looked over tonight or tomorrow-between lessons here in Hiroshima, today is mock test day! And thank you!

Bates Elementary

CaroleHenson Gyaah! I just had a bunch of links typed in and the computer system burped. #BecauseJapan. On Google Street View, it still shows the school, but Apple maps shows it razed. Can you confirm?

Hi, yes, it was razed for the construction of a dormitory building. See this article.
