With area schools closed, Darrell Bryant Senior and his son, Darrell junior, on a walking tour of Ferguson, stand outside the burnt out remains of the QuikTrip on West Florissant Road

Down the road, Tayonda Garrett and her 4-year-old daughter Dazira of Dellwood waited at a Metro bus stop. Dazira was wearing a pink backpack. Unlike kids in the Ferguson-Florissant School District, she was on the way to school this morning, a preschool she attends in St. Louis City. Garrett takes her daughter there on the bus every day and doesn’t see any reason to change her routine now.

Stress of the past 11 days really wearing on people. Asked a teacher how she's holding up. She began sobbing. #Ferguson
