Downtown Alpena keeps a rhythm the shops set: lights on Second Avenue, the first car in the lot, the door unlocked at nine. Prime Results LLC is what happens hours before any of that — snow removal for commercial lots, driveways and entryways, pavement pushed clean and ice knocked back before a single customer arrives. Storms off Thunder Bay have a habit of starting overnight and finishing just late enough to be inconvenient, which is why the route runs on the storm's clock instead of anyone's preference. Piles get stacked where they will not eat parking spaces or block the sightline at an exit. The result nobody notices is exactly the result wanted: an open lot, a walkable entry, a day that simply starts.
