10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FOURTH OF JULY With 243 years of tradition behind it, the Fourth of July is one of America's most cherished holidays. It is when we celebrate our nation's mythology with a day off, a backyard barbecue, and plenty of fireworks. But with all that history, you'd be forgiven if you didn't know quite everything about July 4.

So from the true story behind the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to some staggering hot dog statistics, here are 10 things you might not know about the Fourth of July.

01.

The Declaration of Independence wasn’t signed on July 4 (or in July at all).

02.

The first celebrations weren’t much different than today’s.

03.

Eating salmon on the fourth of July is a tradition in New England.

04.

Massachusetts was the first state to recognize the holiday.

05.

The oldest annual fourth of July celebration is held in Bristol, Rhode Island.

06.

The shortest fourth of July parade is in Aptos, California.

07.

There are around 15,000 Independence Day fireworks celebrations every year.

08.

09.

10.

We’ll eat an obscene amount of hot dogs.

And we’ll spend billions on food.

Three presidents have died, and one was born, on the fourth of July.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH: Do you have any special

traditions on the Fourth of July?

Answer this and you could win $$$.

Submit your answer by the 15th of this month to be entered into a drawing for a $25 e-Gift Card.

PROPERTY SPOTLIGHT: Legacy at Piedmont, San Antonio,

Texas

Last month, A|P’s Texas acquisitions and applications task force closed on financing for Legacy at Piedmont, a new development in San Antonio. This is A|P’s fifth San Antonio-located groundbreaking in six years. What an accomplishment!

Congratulations to Gary “My First Closing” McPherson, Scott Kriebel, Greg Griffith, Joey Roig, Mike Fincher, Raul Lopez, and Octavio Jimenez on knocking out the design, permitting, construction contract, and financial closing without missing a beat. Now, this old Moose Lounge will be replaced with 49 astonishing units of senior affordable housing.

Cloud storage services work as a network of connected data servers collectively used to share and access your files across devices.

TECH TALK: Is the Cloud really a cloud?

What is "The Cloud"? Most of us never think about the definition. We know we save things to Dropbox and OneDrive, but we don’t really know where it goes. We only know that it's readily and easily available to us.

We're sorry to burst the bubble, but "The Cloud" is not actually a cloud.

Cloud solutions have really changed the game for companies. We can now be mobile with data and can collaborate with others more efficiently. Cloud solutions also help with business continuity. If you save your work on your laptop and it gets a virus or you damage it, the work may be forever lost. If you store it to the Cloud, it will be available from any other PC. All you need to do is sign in.

Have you met Ace?

Our mascot, Ace, is the face of Atlantic Pacific Companies. His full name is Alan P. Cific.

Psst! Bonus point: Send Ace an email saying “Hi!” for a chance to win a prize. Email: ace@apcompanies.com
