WIN $100 Visa Gift Card from Allstore Displays

Who doesn’t like a contest?  I know I do.  I also love a nice store display and often times these displays will sway one direction or another if a customer buys a product or not.  Nice candy racks are especially enticing.  I’ m a sucker for gum and if I can find an odd new flavor I am down.  I have been shopping in stores where if there are dirty or dingy store displays I would walk out. If this is how they display their products where was this sitting before i bought it?  How many creepy crawlies walked over it?  Anyway enough nasty talk.  Gift cards are awesome and this contest is for a $100 Visa Gift Card so be sure to enter as soon as possible.

5 Ways to Preserve Your Precious Family Films and Photos

8mm

Family photos and films are priceless. These items help you to reflect on the past and take a trip down

memory lane. Since these pictures and films are so important to you and your family, it is essential

that you take the time and effort to protect them and keep them safe. Here are 5 ways to preserve your

precious family films and photos so that you can continue to pass them on for generations to come.

1. Find or create a controlled environment where you can store film and photos. This may not be

possible for everyone, but if you can do this, it will help you to preserve your films and photos the

best. Ideally, you want to store these things in a cool temperature with moderate humidity. To

achieve this ideal environment, many people store film and photos in the refrigerator.

of your film and photos, causing them to fade quickly. With time, sunlight can actually cause so

much damage to videos and film that they may no longer be watchable anymore. Keep photos and

film in a sealed box and try to store them in a cool closet that is also very dark.

The Top Five Hotels in New York City

In a city that’s known for having exemplary everything like New York, it can be hard to make decisions based on quality. Is the dinner menu better at Cipriani or Le Cirque? Should you spend the day at MoMa or the Guggenheim? Yankees or Mets? While you may be hard-pressed to find a consensus on any of the aforementioned subjects, when it comes to lodging, the city has cultivated a class of exemplary hotels that that deliver more than just a restful night’s sleep. Check out the following top-tier hotels before you check in:

Hotel Elysee: Midtown Manhattan may be replete with terrific shopping and world-class restaurants, but when it comes to spending your trip in comfortable luxury, there’s no place like the Hotel Elysee. The building, built in the 1920s, has a history as vibrant as the city itself, and is perhaps best known as the former home of playwright Tennessee Williams. While you’re enjoying your stay here, you’ll have all New York has to offer within a stone’s throw, including some of the city’s most magnificent views, with Rockefeller Center to the west, and, to the south, the city’s newest standout skyscraper, 432 Park Avenue, which holds the distinction of being the tallest residential building in the entire western hemisphere.

Gansevoort Park Avenue: If you want to stay in the center of the city’s action, book yourself a room at the midtown branch of this elegant boutique hotel. Centrally located on 28th Street and Park Avenue South, the Gansevoort provides a perfect home base for foodies. Just a few blocks from some of the city’s chicest bars and eateries, including ABC Kitchen, Eleven Madison Park, and The Cannibal, this neighborhood’s recent boom is attracting countless new residents, many of whom are finding their new home at some of the chic luxury buildings going up in this dynamic section of town, like Park Avenue’s Huys, which combines the airy, sun-drenched style of downtown lofts with the convenience of living right in the heart of the city.
