Commercial mornings start earliest. Before the shops out toward Clinton Street unlock, JPR ENTERPRISE CORP. has run the plow through the lot, opened the walk to the door and put down salt where the entry ices over. In the green months it is mowing and trimming on a set schedule, edging, mulch, shrub work and the cleanups that bracket a growing year. Elma sits close enough to the city and far enough into the country to need both kinds of care, and the crews work to a route and a clock because somebody's day depends on the lot being open. Cut grass, clear pavement, nobody thinking twice about it — that is the job done.
