Self Storage And The American Dream We all have visions of what the American Dream is. A white picket fence surrounding a lush green yard, where our children are playing in the sprinkler as Bubba the bulldog chases them around barking in pure joy. The Jeep Liberty and Toyota Camry are parked in the two car garage of the four bedroom, two story Cape, with a fire pit and patio in the back yard, where Dad is out grilling hot dogs on his new Weber grill, for everyone to enjoy in the spring time sun. While everyone’s idea of the American Dream may be a little different, most can agree that it’s what we all strive to attain. In the not so distant past, America was the land of “milk and honey” where anything we wanted was within our reach, and all of our dreams were at our fingers tips. It seems like only yesterday, spending the weekend on the lake in our new 16 foot Wellcraft boat was a common occurrence, and putting an in-law apartment addition above the garage for Grandma was the norm.
Economic Security Gets an Average Grade New Jersey lawmakers could be doing much more to improve the economic security of their constituents, according to a state-by-state scorecard from Wider Opportunities for Women(WOW). The state received a ‘C’ for policy choices made by legislators that directly affect families’ and seniors’ economic security, or their ability to afford basic needs like housing and food. The scorecard examined 85 policy choices. New Jersey ranked seventh among the states and the District of Columbia, which means a ‘C’ grade isn’t too harsh when considering the nation as a whole. “(New Jersey) received the second-highest number of A’s, but it also received a lot of F’s and D’s,” said WOW Acting President and CEO Shawn McMahon. The state saw grades in the ‘A’ range for expanding family leave, as well as its policy of allowing a resident to freeze their credit scores when there’s the potential for identity theft or fraud, but New Jersey received failing grades for a lack of sound sick day policies.

Soon School Will Be Out As I was on my way to work this morning I had to stop a number of times because a School Bus was in front of me. I smiled, as I started to remember what it was like for me and my friends in the distant past. I am pretty certain that our parents had never imagined that today’s children would be picked up with almost door to door service by a big school bus to take us to school. There was no such thing as a cafeteria that made lunch for us. I bet it is rare the occasion when today’s child is given lunch in a brown paper bag. Was life really simpler in those days, or are we just making things more complicated today? I am thankful that the weather is much nicer this week, than it was the past few. The high is expected to reach just about 80 degrees. Things are also beginning to pick up at the facility as well. People are commenting on the sign we have placed out front. A majority of the units that have been rented are smaller (5×5 and 5×10) sized units, to our new tenants.
Tenants and People Working Together Well here it is Monday morning is here and it is time to go through the golden gates at the Storage Station Store in South Toms River. The weather is really nice. Can not believe it is spring. As I check the units and also the Cars and Trailers and Boats store here at Storage Station. As I drive around the grounds I had a chance to talk to a few Tenants that rent here . Today I had to stay a little longer in the Storage Store in South Toms River NJ. I myself as an manager of both places in the Toms River and South Toms in Nj to have the pleasure to help some in needs of this kind of help an able to insure the people that their thing are safe here. They the people have also had to find a place to store their cars and boat or rv trailer and we have been able to help them with that problem also. This part does not solve all their problems but I feel it is a good start for the people and I am proud to have been able to help as much as I can at this point.
Seasonal Storage When most people think about self storage they figure it is just for people who are moving and need a temporary place to store their possessions or they think it is for people who are downsizing their homes and have nowhere else to store their things. Well reality is that self storage facilities do provide space for the storage of your home goods but we also provide spaces for many more purposes than just items from your home. For instance many businesses such as plumbers, builders and pharmaceutical representatives utilize self storage space for the storing of their products and materials. This makes their job much less cluttered as they don’t have to keep their work materials at their homes, offices or in their vehicles. Now with this in mind a self storage unit could also be an excellent thing to have for the use of your excess seasonal items. Another great storage idea for seasonal storage that is frequently used especially over the winter time is car, boat and RV storage.
Tenants Many tenants store their holidays items with us, Christmas trees, outdoor inflatable’s, lights , especially good old Santa on his sleigh and all the reindeer. It is so much fun decorating! Lining the driveway with candy canes that glow, my youngest daughter and myself make our porch railings look like candy canes with garland which everyone of my neighbors look for every year it’s now become a tradition, we actually ran out of red, not sure how, but off to the store and within a few hours problem solved! And there is always Frosty the Snowman on our door, he is our favorite!! There is a house around the corner that has so many lights and decorations I have to wonder where they store it all, and may just ask if they have a storage unit for the sole purpose of putting all their decorations away after the season is over.
