**What our people say. “Kids love going for drives. Just meaningless drives. They'll put their music on, sit beside you in the car while you drive through blocks, onto freeways, then circle back towards home. They'll just listen to the music. They don’t care that they're not going nowhere. The walks, the drivesIt doesn't always have to be that you're going somewhere. It can be that you're going nowhere.”**
