All the apartments turn over at once, and entire families (even the decent upstanding ones, unlike us) make it an activity. Students unknowingly throw out their parents danish modern furniture (kids these days), eames chairs, clothes, you name it. We even have a "free store" where a bunch of nutty hippies load their bike trailers, vans or whathaveyou full of "trash" and bring it to a common spot which is all set up nice and people come and pick through it for like 3 days.

Even if it ain't Eames, you've got to get IN THERE! <BR/><BR/>Percy Placebo--I don't think I've ever met you--BUT if/when it happens, you've got some explaining to do. I would consider a pile of debris from Rosenberg's Pawn Shop well worth calling in sick for.jauntyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809176196916978247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704647.post-1143767054473478312006-03-30T20:04:00.000-05:002006-03-30T20:04:00.000-05:00No Way!!!!We are thinking about splurging on a set...No Way!!!!<BR/>We are thinking about splurging on a set....that would have cut my cost down significantly.<BR/>Good find!anessa areharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898391022987140964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704647.post-1143644400402094092006-03-29T10:00:00.000-05:002006-03-29T10:00:00.000-05:00good find.had i not been on foot... the other day,...good find.<BR/><BR/>had i not been on foot... the other day, there was a good bit of nifty dated junk outside of rosenberg's pawn shop that looked worthy of sifting through.<BR/><BR/>though, i didn't want to appear like a filthy street denizen lugging the moldy stuff back to the office.<BR/><BR/>-PercyKenn Minterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777785753119561076noreply@blogger.com
