Genesee Street wakes up in stages: the bakery, then the offices, then everybody else. CNY Residential and Commercial Lawncare is out ahead of all of it in winter, clearing a lot so the first car of the day can pull in without giving it a thought. In summer those same properties get mowed and trimmed on a route that runs from house lots to storefronts and back again. Commercial or residential, the standard does not move — cut lines straight, corners caught, walks blown clean. Auburn is a working city, and a tidy frontage is part of how it holds its shoulders.
