Homer Solutions

About Homer Solutions

Pioneer Avenue and the side streets running down toward the water carry Homer's day-to-day life all winter long, and Homer Solutions keeps the sidewalks and lots along that stretch open from the first flakes to the last freeze. A town built on the hillside above Kachemak Bay gets snow that behaves differently block to block: heavier and wetter near the water, drier and quicker to drift once the road climbs toward the Kenai Mountains view. Clearing a merchant's lot before the shop opens or a walkway before the school bus comes through means starting in the dark and working by headlamp and streetlight until the sky over the mountains finally goes gray. There's a rhythm to it, the same lots and the same walk-ups storm after storm, each one a little different depending on which way the wind carried the last one in. A clear path to a shop door on a gray Homer morning is a small thing, but it's the thing that lets the day start on time.
