You know what? When I got quotes last time, Gentle Giant was right in line -- because they actually included everything in their estimate, and the actual price was what they had estimated. Will use them again! I'll save some money on parking permits this time, at least.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

heh ... I passed a Gentle Giant moving truck this morning and wondered about them.
Then I had to dodge the motorcycle ON THE SIDEWALK! and thought about other things.

Their trucks are matte black with gold lettering of just the name and business number. They've been in business since at least the 90s, and are actually quite well-respected for moving tricky things.

I'll throw out shoutout to Marathon Movers. They did an amazing job on getting my stuff out of Salem. Plus they are doing my storage. And the cost was less than less than the estimate. We'll find out how it all went when I get my stuff out of storage, but they did a great job and were fun to hang with given the situation.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I used Gentle Giant when I moved from DC to PA, and I was happy with them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh god, I could not let anyone pack for me. That would make me more crazy than packing for myself. (And packing myself makes me pretty crazy) (I don't like people going through All My Things.)
SITTING RIGHT HERE.
when is the move gonna happen?
