Corescapes

About Corescapes

At three in the morning the lots along Veterans Parkway stand lit and empty, and that is precisely the hour Corescapes wants them. Snow removal on a business property is a race against the first shift — plow the lanes, stack the piles where they won't cost a parking row, clear and salt the entries and the walk to the door. Bloomington storms arrive in every temper, from wet March slop to dry February powder that drifts back an hour after the pass, and each one gets its own plan. By the time headlights turn in off the parkway, the pavement is dark and wet and unremarkable. That is the entire job, and it is a good one to be responsible for.
