I haven't seen anyone hustling to shovel for decades. Some small plow trucks, yeah, but people on foot with real shovels? Nope. And I could use one too.
It really is something,
@uconnfan68.
It has been that way for years now. What do these kids do now? I have been fortunate to live in a neighborhood where a couple of the kids on the street have shoveled and plowed the neighborhood homes for those who needed this service.
The other ones doing this are the landscapers who cut the lawns for their customers. Sometimes, they will shovel and plow for non-customers. This is an option you can try.
But, there is some good news . There is a website nextdoor.com which is pretty much everywhere now. On this site, neighbors can post what services they need and other neighbors will either recommend someone or a person who renders these services who belongs to nextdoor.com, gives his name and contact information.
If a service provider is not satisfactory, the posters will say that too, but with the caveat that they not use malicious or defamatory language. Sort of like the rules for the Boneyard. And since you have to put your real name to post, it deters vicious postings.
Try nextdoor.com wherever you live. It is free to join. And, you call call local landscapers to see if they will perform what you need.
Let us know how this works out.
