I remember once after getting hit with eighteen inches of snow, spending several brutal hours digging out our driveway and our section of the alley. (Alleys are the absolute last thing the Chicago city plows get around to clearing - if they had their way, they'd just let the spring thaw take care of it.) Trouble is, none of our neighbors bothered doing the same, and since we were in the middle of the block it was impossible to get our car out, despite my shoveling. It really made me question the whole "neighbors pulling together for a common cause" idea.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107273328729752475noreply@blogger.com
