A user again sought a single indoor vehicle-storage spot near either airport, in a garage or hangar. This is a 2025 demand signal that echoes the 2022 storage referral, but it does not identify a provider, establish that Eager Beaver remained open, or prove availability, price, or a completed arrangement.
