The Big Apple is Less Daunting with Storage on Your Side

• What can you say about Brooklyn, New York and moving to such a place?  Our first start was a Brooklyn storage place owned and run by a company out of Columbia, Missouri called Storagemart.  It was a good beginning because we only heard things about Brooklyn and some of them were negative of course.  People are rude there our friends told us. You will miss Texas.  The cold will kill you.  The crime is horrible and you will be mugged everyday.  Watch yourself.  What about Houston and Dallas I thought to myself.  Are these cities safe?  Have you seen the news?  This Brooklyn storage place was not rude but very helpful in our time of need and semi panic.  Texans do not move to Brooklyn often and I was breaking new ground I felt.  We are representing Texas here and our good humor and Southern hospitality would win out, change all this rudeness, and stuff like that.  We were still a little scared though. New York can be very daunting.  We watched the professional movers unload our truck and move our life in a very big storage space in a climate controlled space.  We researched storage places off the web and we even knew some of the lingo used in the business.  Climate controlled meant the space is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  We bought mattress covers and slotted boxes for dishes and glasses.  We bought foam and wardrobe boxes to hang our most valuable clothes.  We bought small boxes for books and large boxes for clothes.  We bought short wardrobe boxes and tall ones.  We cut tape and wrote on boxes words like kitchen and Mom bedroom and the like.  The movers put large mirrors in between mattresses and aquariums stuffed with blankets. Our dog rode a thousand miles with us with potty breaks along the way.  She slept most of the time.  She was glad she was in the car.  We think she thought she was staying for a while but she was coming.  She looked out the window, the wind blew her ears back, and we all laughed.  As a kid, we did that too.  My father said that would harm me in some way but I never knew what he meant by that.  Ginger our dog does it all the time but she is a dog.  My father reminded me I was not a dog and sticking my head out the window in a car was not good.  I do not know if it is true or not.  We could look on Doctor Web or whatever that website is called to make sure.  After all these years, you remember such things.  It is this moving thing that affects us in such ways, you know.  You have time to think about a lot of things.  Moving is a difficult process.  First, you are super busy planning, thinking, and packing.  Next you have time to ponder the move, is it the right step for your family and the like.  Brooklyn storage was a pretty good first step though.  Storagemart treated us very well and we felt good about everything.  It was getting exciting.  We talked about Times Square and the statue of Liberty and the Yankees.  Wait a minute.  We do not like the Yankees.
