    Your last generator Maintenance Run

    It is surprising because it’s rather new for utility crews and news crews to be attacked… Utility lineman not exactly pushovers. In all honestly 2019 was one of the best years here… new businesses, renovations, openings… the complaint was gentrification… go figure. Then the pandemic and the...
