The opposite of rural decline in this country is what I’ll call suburban abundance. Last night we learned our oldest granddaughter that will start kindergarten in August will be going to an International Baccalaureate Charter School that has a gifted & talented program. You can have stuff like that in an affluent suburban county with a 30,000 student county-wide public school system. Things like that are but one of the draws that pull young professionals away from rural areas.
