By car! I've never been in a position to be without one. When I worked in management I often traveled from store to store. Kids were open enrolled for awhile, so they needed to be driven to, and picked up from school. When parents were ailing, I often had to leave at a moments notice. Now we often help out running grandkids around. Plus...there are no fabric stores within walking distance. Bus connection is several blocks away. I realize how incredibly fortunate I have been to always have had a car available. I bought my first car at 18, and have had one ever since...(almost 50 years!)
