In this episode, AADL Talks To Sharon McRill. Back in the 1990s, Sharon spent several years with Borders. There she served as a new media liaison when DVDs and games on CD were new technologies, interviewed celebrities, and helped build the first Border’s website. After the first round of Border’s layoffs left her wondering what to do next, she decided to start her own business helping people clean and organize, move, and more. Sharon talks about the evolution of the Betty Brigade from its early years to the thriving business it is today.

Digging the city out of the worst snowstorm of the winter was a crew of 160 men and 40 trucks, the largest army ever put in service for snow removal here. One crew of four men is shown in the top picture shoveling snow off S. State St. into one of the trucks. A steady stream of trucks were carrying the snow to the Huron river where it was being dumped as fast as it was shoveled from the streets, as shown in the lower photo.
