Route 102 follows the river out of town toward the state park, and on a snowing night it is the prettiest drive in the county and the least forgiving. The Scenic Route Property Management LLC runs its plow rounds through those hours — lots opened up, drive lanes cut wide, entrances squared off so the first vehicle of the morning never has to guess where the pavement ends. Snow goes to the corners it belongs in, and salt goes down where shade keeps a surface from ever fully drying. Property by property the route repeats until the last one is clear and the sky has gone gray at its eastern edge. The work ends where it should: pavement, curbs, and a lot ready before anybody pulls in.
