Down in Newton Upper Falls the water runs loud under Echo Bridge even in February, and the gorge holds its snow longer than anywhere else in the city. The old mill streets there are narrow, the drives short and steep, and a storm fills them faster than it fills the open lots out on Route 9. Ciro Carbone Landscaping plows them anyway: driveways and parking areas opened, walks and entries shoveled, salt laid on the cold shaded stretches that never see noon sun. The reward is small and exact, an apron cleared at the bottom of a pitch and the pile pushed clear of the sightline, so a car can leave without an argument.
