I am enjoying catching up with acquaintances, friends, colleagues, clients at the first day of the conference. As a business speaker in the self storage world, I run into a lot of people I know. It sounds like everyone’s business is in better shape this year than it was this time last year. Most people are seeing a fair amount of early in the year rentals and a slow-down in the rate of move-outs. This is not to say that the economy is on the upswing nor is it the say that the economy has found bottom. But there is a sense of cautious relief among the people I talked to so far this morning.
