[RP TownTalk] Why such poor snow removal?

[Corey Slavitt]

The 5000 block of Oglethorpe Street faired much better than the rest 
of our town.  The reason -- our community-spirited and extremely kind 
and caring Zastrow family.  Tim went out to the store at midnight as 
the storm began, scored a snow blower, and he and son Toby cleared 
all sidewalks and most driveways (some had cars in them in the way.) 
They did this both on Saturday and on Sunday.  And Tim and Toby 
looked like they were having fun!  They even cleared parts of the 
street that they could manage with their blower so neighbors could 
get out to the street safely.  If I were queen, I would buy them -- 
and myself -- a couple of four-wheel drives with shovel attachments 
on the front.  We could clear the entire town of snow and whistle 
while we worked!

The Zastrows love our neighborhood block so much they've lived in 
three different houses on it for more than 20 . . . maybe 25 years. 
And we love the Zastrows!  Thank you!
