Don't Mess With New YorkYou don't want to mess with New Yorkers, man. You just don't. Guess Public Storage learned that the hard way. Yesterday, the New York Daily News reported on the hand-slapping Public Storage received in response to its latest NYC subway posters, which were purportedly offensive to city residents.

From Pack Rats to Rubbish BoysI received an e-mail response to Tuesday's post about the new PACK RAT enterprise—a representative from 1-800-GOT-JUNK? (formerly The Rubbish Boys) wanted to make sure I knew about storage facilities that use junk-removal companies to keep on top of their clutter.
