Shoveling the Rivington Soccer Field

Posted on: January 28th, 2011 by

Locals aren’t only worried about whether the streets and sidewalks are plowed in the aftermath of the Thunder Snow Storm.  What about the neighborhood playing fields?

Indeed, yesterday afternoon, we spotted a committed crew clearing the turf soccer field on Rivington Street ahead of a match on Sunday. And check out those seven-foot snowbanks along the fenced perimeter!  One shoveler told us that those embankments were not plowed.  Oh no. That’s four weeks of snow, hand shoveled by random players.
