Tired of business not shoveling there sidewalks? Here's an interesting idea:
But rather than complain, shame them in a listserv they'll never read, demand government assistance, or report them to the government, some Tenleytowners are going to just clear the snow for the public good. In doing so, we will make the area safer for residents and name the businesses that failed in their legal and civic responsibility.
Jon Bender and I are organizing the First Tenleytown Volunteer Snow Removal Battalion. At 4 pm this afternoon 3 pm tomorrow, we will go forth from the Tenleytown Metro entrance to destroy the slush piles. We will clear paths through sidewalks swamped by plowed snow, unusable bus stops, several elderly residents, and even a few frontages untouched by those responsible for them.
To prevent any businesses from taking advantage of our labor, we will post "You're Welcome" posters on the windows of miscreants and publish names and photographs of them online. I hope that residents will participate in a brief boycott of listed organizations.
