From the Streetside Museums department:
Vanessa Huffman of the Buffalo News has a short opinion piece about the allure of garage sales. With the weather finally approaching spring-like conditions here in Chicago, I can’t wait to hit a yard sale or two. Mostly I don’t buy because I am a cheap and frugal guy, but I love wandering around looking at all of the stuff people have amassed. Another good place to do this is in the new book by Marilynn Gelfman Karp, . We just got this book in at the bookstore where I work and I spent too much time the last two days paging through it and thinking about my own collector tendencies. Much like Vanessa Huffman refers to garage sales, this book is like a museum of people’s lives. (Buffalo News)
