Self Storage
One of the best things about self-storage is the ability to preserve gadgets and mementos of the past in a safe place. Each box in your storage unit tells a part of your story and gives a little glimpse into who you are. Similarly, a storage unit can also serve as a time capsule showcasing popular trends through the decades.With a plethora of new technology, groundbreaking music, and bold fashion, the 1980s is one of the most easily recognized and beloved decades in history. It paved the way for many cultural trends that are still popular today including rock/pop music, denim everything, the science fiction genre, and so on.đˇIf youâre a Gen Xer, weâre willing to bet you still own at least one of the items in each category.
