Come to think of it, my husband’s office storage unit on Greenville Ave. also increased in price, and I cannot imagine why – the place looks shabbier every time I go over there. In a time when most people are negotiating with landlords to whittle down leases, the storage business appears to be going great guns. I recall our broker had us buy stock in storage warehouse units back in the late 1980′s. Guess they take advantage of the need for people to store belongings in-between home moves and move-outs. Thoughts?
