Default April showers ... brings out the shovels

* Did your city used to clear your sidewalks?

*" I'm amazed... *As far as I can remember, my city has never cleared
sidewalks in front of private property.

* Unless the property owner refused to, then they would, and then they
would also send the owner a hefty bill for the service. *(It takes a
three man union crew to clear 50 feet of sidewalk).

* We got down to 20 degrees last night, too. *My other half is mad
because her tulips have been frosted and snowed on a bunch of times
since they came up. *They didn't look so happy this morning."


Only the 3rd year of this sidewalk cleaning service in the old original part of Halifax. Dartmouth across the harbour and some parts of the county always did it.
