Pontiac has gone by Chief City for as long as anyone here has been saying it, and Chief City Property Maintenance takes the whole property as the job rather than one chore out of it. Spring through fall that means mowing on a set day, trimming and edging, and the cleanups that bookend the growing season. Winter turns the same list white: plowing driveways and parking areas, shoveling entryways, and salting where wind funnels between buildings. From the grain elevators at the edge of town to the brick storefronts downtown, the aim holds steady, a surface you can walk across without thinking about it. Steady rounds, all twelve months of them.
