Storage by Duddy

You’ve heard the story about the poor lady that lived in a shoe, she had so many kids she didn’t know what to do. A little background history that I know about the lady that owns this set of storage units reminds me of that lady in the shoe.
Back in the mid-​70s this lady lived in a single wide trailer that didn’t have central heat and air. It had a swamp cooler in one end to cool the trailer in the summer. My Lord! The summer months in the South. If you’ve never spent a hot, humid, muggy, stifling-​ass hot day in Mississippi without AC, then you have lived a truly blessed life.
This lady lived in a tattered mobile home with four children for years, struggling to make ends meet, but managed somehow. All of her children grew into respectable adults and everyone moved on.
What makes this story special is that the lady suffered silently for those kids and she did without many pleasures in life to feed and clothe them. She continued to struggle for years after the children left.
About a decade ago that lady bought the land that trailer once sat on. She had it leveled and built storage units on that property. She is more compassionate toward renters than most anyone else in the storage business. She has worked with late payments all the way up until either the renter got back on their feet or the renter was just a true deadbeat; in which case she sold their possessions to put toward the amount they owed her.
The grass around the units is always kept short and she even has a company to come spray for spiders and such. I have a couple units here and couldn’t say a bad thing about my experience.
