Dear Crabby, What does 'Back to School' Mean for you? Sincerely, G.R. Little Hello G.R. Well, back to school means more traffic around town. Not just near the schools, but everywhere - cars cutting through subdivisions, filling all the surface roads, and making rush hour start earlier and end later.
