I don't really know where to begin with my review of Bill's Moving.  I guess I should start with a disclaimer: I worked for Bill for over 3 years, pretty much all throughout college.  That being said, I simply cannot imagine a better moving service in the Baltimore-Washington Area.  Bill is quite nearly a "moving celebrity"--no listing in the phone book or on the internet, he now solely relies on word of mouth for his business.  And a pretty brisk business he does.

This could get long and melodramatic and sappy, so let me just say that Bill is a great man.  In life, we all have a lot of friends, people we think are smart, funny, cool, whatever.  But, I guess kind of sadly, I can count very few "great men" (or women, for that matter) among those I've interacted with in my life.  Bill is a great man.

He's like the Buckminster Fuller of furniture packing, the Stan Musial of sofa stacking, the David Cross of couch carrying, the Jimmy Carter of careful capitulation the the gods of furniture moving, all rolled into one.  And he's a real cool guy, to boot.

One day, I'm going to write this great coming of age novel about moving with Bill, his lifelong best friend Chuck, our resident law student Jake, the aspiring actor Lips, the hijinx happy hobo Corndawg, and Dane, the all-american man-boy.  I hear Chuck's no more, and the reins have been passed to the strapping Lewis as Bill's youthful protege.

But one thing is certain-if a 1960's sleeper sofa needs to humped up a 3 story walk up-he'll be there to do it.  If a foldable futon needs to be hoisted over a railing and around a spiral staircase, he'll have those hump straps tied around his arms and be a pulling with the utmost of grace and power. Even if an old sashcord windowpane needs to be delicately dissambled to fit a queen sized box-spring into a 19th century Federal Hill home, Bill will be doing things the right way, sober, cautiously and efficiently, all over the Baltimore metro area.

At least, until he retires and starts teaching college out here on the West Coast someday, which is really the good, relaxed life he deserves.  So yeah, call Bill, he's your guy.
