The commercial lots along Troy Road hold a lot of open sky, and in a storm they fill fast and evenly, a whole acre going white at once. B-Line Striping takes those on in winter, plowing the lanes out in long straight runs, stacking snow where it will not block a sightline, then salting the entrances and the walks by the doors. There is a plain pleasure in a lot pushed square to its own curb lines, corner to corner, with the drive aisles opened before the first car of the day turns in. Wind crosses flat ground on this side of Edwardsville and drifts the same spots every storm, so those get the second look. Shoppers never notice any of it, and that is the compliment.
