Say your mother-in-law (a white-glove-test type) is coming to visit, you've got a massive project due at work, and your floors look like those at the Rotunda Cinematheque after a Saturday's worth of The Simpsons Movie patrons spilled their Coke and Junior Mints on them. Who you gonna call? Try the grimebusters at Living Legacy Development. Former Mount Royal Elementary/Middle School teacher Erica McCullough started the company in February as a way of keeping teens gainfully employed and off the streets after school; she now employs twenty-seven local high school and college students. McCullough hatched the idea after one of her students was killed by random gunfire while hanging out with friends. "I wanted to make sure that all my students made it to adulthood," McCullough says. She pays the teens $8 an hour, trains them, and teaches them basic job skills. They paint rooms, do major cleanups, and specialize in cleaning and staging houses before they go on the market.
