                  RECOGNIZING MAINSTREET SELF STORAGE

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, small businesses are able to 
recognize what their neighbors and communities need, and what is even 
more impressive is that they are able to meet those needs quickly and 
efficiently. This is especially important when a natural disaster 
strikes. That is why this week's Small Business of the Week is 
Mainstreet Self Storage of Shreveport, LA.
  Northwest Louisiana is currently struggling with major flooding, 
which has driven families out of their homes and shut down small 
businesses. In response, Mainstreet Self Storage is doing its part to 
help those affected by offering free storage space for the next 3 
months. Through this program, Mainstreet aims to provide folks a safe, 
secure space to store their belongings--truly a fine example of 
Louisiana's ingenuity and generosity.
  In May of 2009, the Delaney family opened a facility offering storage 
and moving solutions for Shreveport-Bossier city residents. Mainstreet 
Self Storage's complex is comprised of climate-controlled units, 
nonclimate controlled-units, car garages, cover RV storage, and open or 
closed storage for boats and vehicles. Mainstreet's top-of-the-line 
security system and humidity-controlled units give clients a peace of 
mind in the stowing of their belongings. Shortly after opening, 
Mainstreet partnered with the U-Haul company in order to offer moving 
and transportation equipment to their customers. In the years since, 
Mainstreet Self Storage has become a Top 100 U-Haul Dealer and was 
recently named the eighth in the Nation for customer service.
  Congratulations to MainStreet Storage for being selected as the Small 
Business of the Week. We appreciate and recognize your generosity and 
commitment to aiding your neighbors in Northwest Louisiana during these 
times of need.
