Summertime Rolls

Summer kicked into high gear as soon as Memorial Day rolled around. Everyone's favorite season means plenty of barbecuing, basking in the sun, stoop sales, and outdoor exploration of every kind. That's just how we like it. After months of hibernation, it's finally time to get out and about, say hello to thy neighbors and reconnect with the locals. So come along on our fantastic summertime journey these next two weeks where we'll give you the Dos and Don'ts of Garage Sales; What to Bring with You to a Flea Market; Summer Essentials; yummy food for thought and much much more.
