My wife’s from the nicer part of Birmingham and when she was growing up they got rid of buses in that district which I assume was to prevent any poors and minorities from attending the schools as all the stay at home soccer moms roll to school in their 1990s equivalent to an Acura RDX.
 
Mountain Brook? Not questioning your theory, but that wouldn't be the best area for school buses to navigate. Lot of blind curves and hills, etc.
 
Guessing that vehicle’s equivalent back then would have been like a fully loaded minivan? That Lexus/Acura tiny suv really scratched what itched suburbia when it was introduced.

were bigass Suburbans a thing in the 90s? I remember one mom having one, but it was an older model. Seems like the status symbol mom car was a Volvo or Mercedes station wagon.

hasn't Birmingham essentially re-segregated with white kids going to private schools and black kids going to public schools?

Agree. I will also submit Lincoln Navigators and Toyota Land Cruisers.
 
My cousins had a Lincoln Navigator and I was so jealous that they got to play NBA Jam on the headrest screens the whole way driving to see us.

Dude, I still fucking love that (cheetos?) commercial where the dude is riding in a buggy with an Amish guy. "What's it like without the Internet?" "Pretty much the same, your mom just has to mail the pictures instead." Fucking slays me.

Somehow the way it’s phrased in the commercial means the same thing but seems more appropriate for a mainstream TV ad.

Mountain brook would be a bitch to drive a bus around

Fucking North Carolina is rife with this shit as well. When my kids started public school a few years ago, I took the time to look at the school districting maps. Just fucking out-and-out socioeconomic-based racism. As someone from a homogeneous state, the school districts look fucking normal; like you'd expect them to look. Here? Just out and out fucking bullshit.
 
@palma got a new #client and their BA looks just like Tia Carrere from Wayne’s World. Distractingly hot.
