Out at the west end near Sherman Park the wind comes off the big water and keeps the afternoons ten degrees honest. EJ Grass Cutting mows right through it — the long open side yards out that way, the tight city lots closer in, and the strip of grass between sidewalk and curb that everybody forgets about until it goes shaggy. Cutting, trimming, edging, and clearing the drop once the poplars let go in October. Nothing complicated about it: sharp blades, a straight line, the clippings blown off the drive before the truck pulls away. Sault Ste. Marie yards, kept short and even from breakup to hard frost.
