Great video above, Alleykins - Thanks very much for posting. I watched the whole thing. I haven't seen this before & appreciate the "new" look at this case. I completely understand that the route in the video is not necessarily the route JJ would have taken to walk to the H.S. - but at least it gives you some idea of the area/locale. Some observations/points:
The area where JJ lived is extremely normal looking - just a regular American suburb. Though the disappearance happened 20+ years ago, I doubt that anything extremely substantive has changed to make the neighborhood look significantly different - other than possibly some new home construction, home renovations, landscaping, trees getting larger & others possibly being cut down/trimmed, etc.
Before seeing this video, I hadn't known that JJ had volunteered to walk the long way to Fazoli's when asked to come in early - and that this led to his co-worker offering to pick him up so he wouldn't have to walk that far. IMHO this is important - because it shows how conscientious & responsible JJ felt about the job. Going along with this - given that he was apparently going to leave soon for another job somewhere else...it sounded like he still wanted to make a good impression @ Fazoli's on his last day(s)/week(s).
As the video mentions, JJ being called in early to work was not at all odd/unusual. I myself used to work @ a similar restaurant job as a teen, and being called in early/on your day off was a semi-frequent occurrence. This was due to needing to cover for someone who couldn't come in/didn't show up, etc.
