Gotham Depo Moto Storage
We want you to feel the service and almost like you came into a nice hotel.You saw a great butcher, its denim1 and still keeping it fashion forward.Its sad to say that covid affected2 our lives in a good way.I worked for Calvin Klein. I was in their sportswear division. I was in charge of fit for blouses,my job I had dealt with fit model and it was very intimate and it was very close and the fit model would leave us and go to the Gap and leave the Gap and go to Nordstroms or me there,so the industry all of a sudden looked at the fit model and said shes a super spreader you cant3 do this anymore.I basically am his compatible, was his competitor worked for a privately4 owned company.My position was design and fabric5 design and research and design so it got a little crazy and working in the house so we had to kind of designate areas, he worked in the kitchen.I worked in the living room, it was tight but we managed through it until we were told that we were officially let go from the company.But we were both furloughed a few days before April 1st and when I had reached out and told our connections on the other side of the world that I worked with for 20 years,they thought it was an April Fools joke, how? youre with your company over 20 years.We both understood very quickly, no one was buying the milk, you didnt need the cow, and we were the cow, we were the design and manufacturing process.In that time there was fear there was concern of the next paycheck and where thats coming from.I was so scared I had no idea what we were going to do all the skills that I valued myself so much on mattered nothing anymore.I tend to get a little antsy, creative mind, creative hands, now I have to figure out what am I doing, what I need to do something, I need to do something.Im driving around the neighborhood come across the warehouse6.It blew my mind, we both are avid7 riders and how can we combine our love for motorcycles,and gotta make it a career, a new career path, since covid no ones riding the subways at all.Where is everyone putting all these vehicles and how theyre storing them and he starts to pitch this idea to me.I couldnt say no, it was so well thought out, hey sort of like a boutique hotel for motorcycles.We both had very good salaries.We were very lucky in the fact that we had always put away in our 41 ks, strangely enough during covid the markets were doing well.I never thought that what we would put away for our retirement8 would save us,and we would call and we would call the landlords and say hey were looking to rent your space,and they said what are you looking to do and we said motorcycle parking and some of them would hang out.All they saw was motorcycle noise oil dirt so we had to shop this around kind of differently.So we needed to do presentation boards from newer enough for people to actually get it, and the warehouse was an old fishmongers warehouse.It was all white, there was nothing here smelled like fish, we saw the raw space and we knew we had this beautiful canvas.We could do whatever we want, we had one rule when we were building the garage, you cant repeat material,if you have one leather couch, the next couch cant be leather, if you have aluminum9 lockers11, you cant have a aluminum door.We have people that come from the front just to walk to the back just to do this.Its an illusion and this is good wallpaper, we also have an office area for them, so they have people come in here,and they spend their time and they do their Wework and they have wi-fi, but they also have the ability to scan to fax to print to make copies.This way once you dismount off of your bike youre not leaning over to your neighbor,youre not knocking into your neighbors bike at all as well as a trouble charger, we provide you with a hanger12, as well as your own private locker10, that you have 14 cameras also with facial recognition.For us for us security is paramount13, its something that we want to ensure that our members are going to rest easy at night.We needed to attract business, this is our growing years so we lower the price to 250.We coming from fashion and liking14 a little bit of drama and knowing the difference of art and light and balance,so that the light bounces off the ceiling and it comes down and then we have the middle row turned down, so at night this is like a fashion runway.Right right right we also built the mezzanine behind you.When we built this honestly I said to the builder I said I want nothing in that corner,I want this corner to be my Titanic15, this is what I look for, really, this is what I live for.My best friend my husband my partner to take this next step in life, Ive been fired four times,and here sometimes and we laugh and we say that its two oclock and I wouldve been in a fitting or I wouldve been doing an approval of fabrics16 or and just to realize that this is this is our job now,and it is truly a love and its just its real humbling17, I have to tell you that to sit here and to look at what weve accomplished18 and what we built.The biggest lesson that I think I learned from covid was something that Steph called me out on 10 years ago,and I dismissed it and I said it thats impossible and I dont see it and it was complacency, I had gotten complacent19.I was very proud of my job and my title but if thats where I sat until the day I retired20 then that was fine.Every day we want this to grow every day, we will do something more and again, now were learning to dream.
我们想让您感受一下服务,就好像您走进了一家不错的酒店。你看到一个伟大的屠夫,穿着牛仔布,仍然保持时尚前卫。可悲的是,新冠以一种好的方式影响了我们的生活。我为卡尔文·克莱恩工作,我在他们的运动服部门,负责合身衬衫,我的工作是和适合的模特打交道,非常亲密,非常接近,模特会离开我们,去Gap,离开Gap,去那里的Nordstrom‘s,所以业界突然看着模特说,她是一个超级传播者,你不能再这样做了。我基本上和他合拍,是他的竞争对手,在一家私营公司工作。我的职位是设计和面料设计,研究和设计,所以有点疯狂,在家里工作,所以我们不得不指定的区域工作,他在厨房工作。我在起居室工作,那里很狭小,但我们勉强度过了难关,直到我们被告知我们被正式从公司解雇了。我们在4月1日前几天都被暂时停职了,当我联系到我们在世界另一端与我共事20年的关系人时,他们认为这是一个愚人节的笑话,怎么可能?你在你的公司工作了20年的。我们都很快明白,没有人买牛奶,你不需要奶牛,我们是奶牛,我们是设计和制造过程。在那段时间里,人们担心下一笔薪水以及这笔钱从何而来。我太害怕了,我不知道我们要做什么,所有我如此看重自己的技能都不再重要了。我变得有点坐立不安,有创造力的头脑,有创造力的手,现在我必须弄清楚我在做什么,我需要做什么,我需要做什么。我开车在附近转悠,穿过仓库。令我震惊,我们都是狂热的车手,我们如何才能将我们对摩托车的热爱结合起来,我要把它作为一种职业,一条新的职业,因为疫情以来没人想坐地铁。每个人都把这些车辆放在哪里,以及它们是如何存放的,他开始向我推销这个想法。我不能说不,它是经过深思熟虑的,嘿,有点像摩托车精品酒店。我们都有很好的薪水。我们非常幸运,因为我们一直在41k计划中存钱,奇怪的是,在新冠疫情期间,市场表现良好。我从未想过我们为退休存下的钱会拯救我们,我们会打电话给房东说,嘿,我们想租你的房子,他们问你想做什么,我们说摩托车停车场,他们中的一些人会一起出去玩。他们看到的都是摩托车噪音、油污,所以我们不得不以不同的方式进行经营。所以我们需要做一个足够新的展示板,让人们能够真正得到它,而仓库是一个老鱼贩子的仓库。这里全是白色的,没有鱼的味道,我们看到了原始的空间,我们知道我们有这幅美丽的画布。我们可以做任何我们想做的事,我们在建车库的时候有一个规则,你不能重复材料,如果你有一张真皮沙发,下一张沙发不可能是真皮的,如果你有铝制储物柜,你就不能有铝制门。我们有人从前面过来,就是为了走到后面去做这件事。这是一种错觉,这是很好的墙纸,我们也为他们准备了一个办公区,所以他们会有人来这里,他们花时间做网络工作,他们有wi-fi,但他们也有扫描、传真、打印和复印的东西。这样,一旦你从车上下来,你就不会依靠邻居,你根本不会撞到你邻居的车,还有充电器故障,我们为你提供一个衣架,以及你自己的私人储物柜,有14个摄像头也有面部识别功能。对我们来说,安全是最重要的,你知道我们想确保我们的会员晚上很放心去睡觉。我们需要招揽生意,这是我们成长的年头,所以我们把价格降到了250美金。我们来自时尚,喜欢一点戏剧,知道艺术与光和平衡的区别,所以灯光从天花板上反弹下来,然后我们把中间那排调低了,所以在晚上,这里就像一个时装秀台。对对对,我们还在你后面建了夹层。当我们诚实地,建造这座建筑时,我对建筑商说,我说我不想要那个角落里的任何东西,我想让这个角落成为我的泰坦尼克号,这就是我要找的,这就是我活着的目的。我最好的朋友,我的丈夫,我的搭档,我已经被解雇四次了,在这里,有时我们笑着说,现在是两点,我会在试衣间,或者我会在做面料鉴定,或者只是意识到这是我们现在的工作,这真的是一种爱,只是真的很谦卑,我必须告诉你们,坐在这里,看看我们所取得的成就和我们所建设的一切。我认为我从疫情身上学到的最重要的一课是10年前斯蒂夫责备我的事情,我对此不屑一顾,我说这是不可能的,我看不到这一点,这是自满,我变得自满。我为我的工作和头衔感到非常自豪,但如果我一直坐在那里直到我退休,那就很好。每一天,我们都希望这一点与日俱增,我们会一次又一次地做一些事情,现在我们正在学习有梦想。
