Dear Constant Reader,
Greetings on a frigid Friday! I can hear the wind howling outside my window as I write this and I hope you are all staying warm, especially those of you in places less accustomed to this level of cold. We had a lot of snow dumped on Boston last week and that inspired this tip, which is for everyone, not just my usual audience of burlesquers.
Clear the sidewalk.
I know shoveling snow is a pain in the ass, but it needs to be done. It makes you a good member of your community. Want to be a better one? Offer to do it for someone who might not be able to do it themself. Make sure curb cuts are accessible and fire hydrants are unburied.
If your landlord is supposed to handle snow removal, that’s great, but do make they take care of it promptly.
I’ve seen people who clean a narrow path from their front door to their car. Not okay. Or the folks who technically clear in front of their house, but leave a big pile between their place and the one next door. Really? Think of other people.
You never know when some poor performer is going to be lugging their suitcase to the venue and face an impassable stretch of snow*. Don’t be the one they cuss out.
*This is not me speaking from experience, but I can totally envision it.
