About George Owen Construction

Three in the morning near the interstate exits, and the lots stand empty and white and quiet enough to hear the plow chain. George Owen Construction runs snow work on that clock — clearing parking areas, stacking piles clear of the aisles and the fire lanes, cutting driveways open, salting entry pads and sidewalks before the first shift arrives. A lot done right disappears: nobody thinks twice about bare pavement at seven, and that is the compliment. Storms around Staunton rarely quit at a convenient hour, so the passes keep coming until the sky is finished. Then the trucks go home and the town wakes up as though nothing happened.
