Before the first commuter lights come up on the Turnpike ramps at 8A, the lots along Monroe's warehouse row are already being read for ice. 5 Star Property Management works the hours nobody else wants — plowing wide commercial aprons, opening driveways and walkways, laying salt down the lanes the wind has scoured to glass. The ground out here is flat and unguarded, so a storm lands all at once and a curb cut fills in minutes. The reward is the sound of a shovel finishing a walk while it is still dark, and the first car of the morning rolling straight through without a second thought. That is the whole point of the night: the day starts on time.
