Graniteville left Johnston a stubborn kind of ground — ledge under the topsoil, stone walls threading the second-growth woods, a town that does not move easily. Winter arrives sideways off the western hills and packs itself into every driveway apron and loading bay before first light. Cassisi II Construction runs the plow routes through those hours, cutting clean lanes down to pavement and putting salt on the slick spots before anyone reaches for a shovel. There is real satisfaction in a lot that opens on time: windrows stacked out of the way, walkways sanded, the day allowed to start. Snow keeps its own schedule in Johnston, and the trucks keep theirs.
