Blackwell Street keeps its own light — awnings, shop glass, the low sun running the length of the block in late afternoon. M and M Property Maintenance works the rhythm of a town where the sidewalk in front of a place counts as part of the place. In the growing months that means lawn care: mowing on a set round, trimming the ragged corners, keeping the strips of green between pavement and door looking tended. In winter it means snow removal — pushing back what the storm left, cutting a walk wide enough for two people to pass, working salt into ice before the evening freeze locks it down. February in Morris County thaws by day and hardens by night, and the difference between a clear entry and a sheet of glass is somebody who came back at dusk to check.
