Better Display Cases Gets a Sign!

The big news of the week: We have sign over our door! To paraphrase Steve Martin in The Jerk, "We're somebody now! Millions of people look at this sign every day!" (If you've ever driven in the DC Metropolitan area you know that's not much of an exaggeration)

Okay, we've actually been somebody in the display case business for a while, but the excitement is there.

It seems that you need to have gas in the generator to work the cherry picker. On the plus side, the remnants of (what once was hurricane) Michael had blown thru the day before so wind wasn't a problem.

Mo, our owner and fearless leader, is happy that we got our sign up for all to see.
