Vegas ... Head on a SwivelTalk about live action—I'm actually sitting in our booth at the Inside Self-Storage Las Vegas Expo as I write. Here in the middle of it all. Tucked away at a table in the corner of the booth, with attendees peering over, wondering what the heck I'm doing. Guess a chick tap-tap-tapping away on a laptop with a mischevious look on her face must be all too intriguing. So much has gone on since the ... |

Bright Lights, Big City ... Here We ComeToday I head out. After months of planning and prepping, the event is here and now: the Inside Self-Storage Las Vegas Expo. It's the largest industry event of the year—even as I type, thousands of your colleagues are on their way to the relentless city where dreams are dashed and realized depending on the spiciness of the morning's Bloody Mary.

The Value of Limiting ValueA news release that ran in today's Santa Clarita Valley (Calif.) Signal is a case in point for the argument supporting value limitation in self-storage. It's also timely for our readers, since next week's free Legal Learning webinar addresses this very topic: "Limitation on Value Clauses for the Self-Storage Lease." The scoop is $18,500 worth of goods—three cars, a trailer and several tools—were ... |

Mummy DearestWhat was last week's top self-storage story in the media? Yeah, total grotesquerie: a partially mummified baby found wrapped in newspaper and stuffed in a suitcase in a Florida storage unit. Just the kind of press we all relish, eh? The scoop is a 46-year-old New Jersey woman flew to Florida to empty her recently deceased mother's unit and found a dead baby boy wrapped in the Jan. 9, 1957, ... |

Going Solar and Braving the ColdOn the coat tails of my last couple of blog posts, which addressed the issue of environmentally friendly building techniques for self-storage, I read a news item in the Novato (Calif.)
