This should be good but sadly I cannot make it. I'll look forward to your post & video highlights.

Why should METROPOLIS, a group of spoiled young professionals--have a say about the schools? Seems to me that their influence has helped to gentrify the city, pushing out working families not able to afford the gentrified rents.
