Why are self-storage facilities popping up all over Vermont?

We all accumulate lots of … stuff. Increasingly, we’re cramming more of that stuff into self-storage facilities: those fields of metal lockers, arranged in neat, industrial rows. 

Join us as we explore the stuff — and stories — we usually keep stored away.

Thanks to Chris Robbins of Middlebury for the great question.

JOIN US! We’re headed to Northern Stage in White River Junction to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the show. We hope to see you there.
