About Stars And Stripes Outdoor Services

February in Orono goes blue by four in the afternoon and colder still at four in the morning, when the bog out past the college road lies stiff and silent and the plows are already running. Stars And Stripes Outdoor Services works that one season only — snow plowing, walkways and steps cleared by hand, sand and salt laid where a north-facing drive has turned to glass. Storms come up the Penobscot valley and often keep going a day and a half, so this job is measured in return trips rather than single passes. The point of all of it is simple: someone opens a door at six and the way out is already open. Plowing covers Orono, Old Town, Veazie, Bangor and Bradley.
