Before the storefronts along Highway 50 unlock, somebody has to make the parking lot walkable, and in La Junta that happens in the dark. CJM Services Inc plows and clears commercial lots and drives, shovels the sidewalks and entry aprons, and treats the ice that gathers along shaded curb lines and at the bottom of every ramp. A cleared lot is a plain and useful kind of hospitality: people park, walk in, and never once have to think about the weather. Valley storms come fast off the plains and often leave just as fast, which makes timing most of the craft. By the time the first cars pull in there's dry pavement under them and a clean stripe of concrete at the door.
