Garage Sales
I goto Garage sales most saturday mornings
after various ways of trying to find them I came across my favorite combo - the online paper listing and Community Walks listing so wanted to share with others. I will try to update my map pointer here as soon as I have it done on weeks I'm doing it.
Our local paper Lawrence Journal World Lawrence Garage Sales
The numbers on the following map are the order from the LJW listing - if I'm only going out Saturday I skip the Friday only ones.
