Everybody here shortens it — K-zoo, said the way you'd say a friend's name. K-Zoo Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC works the winters that come with it: plowing drives and lots, clearing walks down to the surface, salting entryways and the places where runoff sets up overnight. Downtown, where Arcadia Creek runs hidden beneath the streets and brick underfoot turns treacherous under a thin freeze, that last part matters as much as the blade does. Storms cross in from the big lake and settle in for a day or two at a stretch, so the route follows the storm's clock rather than the calendar's. When it's finished, a sidewalk is just a sidewalk again.
