Three in the morning on Wadsworth, and the boulevard is a tunnel of falling white with nobody in it but the plows. C.A.R Plow Snow Removal runs Lakewood's lots and drives on that clock — pushing back the aisles, opening the entrances, stacking piles where they will not block a sight line. Storefronts along the corridor have to be walkable by the time the first shift arrives, so the walks get cleared and treated while the parking field is still being worked. The payoff comes at sunrise: black pavement, straight-cut banks, a door that opens onto bare concrete. Nobody notices a lot that was plowed right, and that is the compliment.
