The Great American Detour
everyone has a greyhound story...the bathrooms stink,
the bus depots are depressing
and I once sat next to a recently
released San Quentin prisoner
for 4 hours on greyhound.
but I've also met some
really incredible people on the bus.
One man told me his story of heading
down to Mexico to try to bring his
family to the States and was
very nervous about how
he was going to
execute this.
With that said, The greyhound is
always a slow journey.
...and that's the beauty of it.
Driving through each state
is an incredibly intimate
& tedious experience.
In August,
my sister Lauren Cerre
& Tyler Manson did exactly this.
Carrying one small piece of luggage each,
3 note pads, a camera and some hand sanitizer,
Lauren and Tyler rode across America
for 2 weeks on a greyhound,
With each state border they crossed,
they jumped into stories that shed great
light on the tumultuous economic
& political climate of america.
And these stories come
straight from the people
living the issues right now and
will continue to do so everyday,
until some puts their foot down
and does something about it.
