I teach in a building that's been bursting at the seams for years, so I know the gym-and-a-closet routine, but five-year-olds don't need a commute on top of it. It's the kind of thing that wears a community down quietly. #musiced #nyc https://gothamist.com/news/pre-k-busing-in-downtown-jersey-citys-hitting-a-crisis-point-parents-say https://truthtether.com/post/in-the-heights-back-home https://truthtether.com/post/in-the-heights-back-home Sat, 31 Oct 2026 19:11:13 GMT uptown_tenor broadway harlem In the Heights coming back to New York and the story still landing the same way.
