A recent letter to the editor. This may or may not be published, but it's worth reading.

Take a time out from the economy, go to your garage.

With all the doom and gloom stories we’ve been hearing from the media, it’s hard not to think of anything else right now. I’ve been very fortunate to work for a company called GarageTown USA. We build, market and sell private storage condominiums (think an extra huge garage for you to use for whatever you want) as well as sell franchises for others to build under our proven model. Our office is full of smiles because we have the perfect escape from the overwhelming media coverage of our economic times, and so do you, it’s your garage.
When you go into the garage to start a project, to clean, or to just get out some trinkets from the “glory days” you aren’t thinking about the DOW or your 401k. Each time I go to our personal GarageTown unit I see our grandparents RV and think about how much fun we’ve had with them over the years, our seasonal junk, mostly Christmas lights and decorations, and the beginning of new projects that brings me hope for things to come. I really hope that everyone will take some time to go rummage through their old stuff, or do the opposite and get started on something that makes them smile. If I go to one more event and the first thing out of someone’s mouth is related to the economy, I’m going to throw them in my garage.
