The Potato Chronicles Wrap Up

It's officially Fall, and Daylight Savings Time has come and gone.  That means it's time to do a wrap up on the 2012 American Classic Potato Project for this year!

For those just joining us, our Potato Chronicles began in April, with an update here and another one here.

All caught up?  Okay, let's continue.

Last weekend was harvest weekend.  That means lugging out the blue plastic tarps and carefully tipping over the growing barrels (aka: trash cans).  Here's a peek at some of our harvest:







We had red potatoes...








...and we had white potatoes....













Final tally of our harvest was over twenty pounds!  We're storing them in a cotton sack, in the cool recesses under our stairway. 
 
One of our objectives for this project was to be able to grow these potatoes to use in our Soups On Saturday program that runs from November through February. We enjoy giving back to our customers, and this seemed like a fun way to do so!
 
I'm excited to say that tomorrow, November 10th we'll be serving us some very special Potato Soup! The fact that it's homemade has an extra special meaning!  Stop in and enjoy a cup, won't you?  We'll be serving from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, or until the pot runs dry!
 
Thanks to everyone who asked about and supported our project this year!

Storsmart Tenant Insurance

ARE YOU PROTECTED?





Many customers presume that self-storage facilities automatically provide insurance for theitems being placed into storage. Although some self-storage facilities don’t require that you have insurance coverage, we do. It makes sense to have adequate replacement coverage in place.

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of well-being because our facility has implemented good security measures or has a smoking ban on site. We do everything we can to avoid theft on our premises with the use of fencing, gates, lighting and security cameras. However, there is little we can do against damages caused by accidents, storms, or other natural disasters.

We recommend you check your insurance options carefully. Your first step should be to consult your homeowners or renters insurance agent to see if the items you plan on storing are covered by your current policy. It may be you are fully covered for items stored away from your residence, or additional coverage may be available to you. Be sure to ask your insurance agent about any policy exclusions, deductible amounts, and coverage limits.While you may be covered through your existing policy, you may find that the insurance available at American Classic Storage provides more specialized coverage with a lower deductible. If you do provide your own insurance coverage, be aware that we will ask for proof of coverage during the rental process.

The insurance coverage available at American Classic Storage has excellent features including a variety of coverage amounts, a wide range of covered perils, and affordable monthly premiums, billed along with your monthly rent.In addition, your goods are covered while in transit to and from our facility when moving in and out. In the event you suffer a loss, our insurance will waive your $100 deductible if your unit was secured with one of our disc locks.

Coverage begins at $2000 for a low $8 monthly premium. Less than 26 cents a day! In today’s world, it’s necessary to insure our cars, our homes, our life, our health, even our cell phones. If you care enough to store your goods, be sure you safeguard them with adequate insurance coverage.
