Today is a special Friday for Colorado State University students, it’s the last day of classes. Some had finals yesterday while most of them will taking them today. Graduation ceremonies will be going on over the weekend. Proud parents will be all over the place. Forget about going to a restaurant. Of course, the parties follow graduation.
Living just six blocks off of campus has it’s perks and its down side. Nearby are a ton of fast food restaurants, small mom and pop restaurants, laundry places, and the popular pizza and beer joints. The down side is the noisy and busy streets and trash. At the end of any school term you find all sorts of furniture being given away: free. Freshmen could do well if they roamed around this time of the year and picked some bargains. Probably have a couple cigarette burns and beer stains. Anyway I found this on my walk this morning.

Looks like a good time to think about redecorating your place, Monte! 😉

Well, my couch has fewer holes, so I’ll pass. Besides I’d have to put mine old one on the street. Of course I could use their sign.

It’s nice to see that the habit of dumping unwanted stuff on the sidewalk is universal. What I always find amazing is that no matter what’s left on the curb, there’s always going to be someone who will find value in it.

I’ve been one of those who picked up a very nice recliner while living in Ohio. I saw it in the morning and discovered it still there that afternoon. It was in good condition so I dragged it upstairs, bought some upholstery cleaning stuff and cleaned it up. Worked for me. 🙂 There are people who come through my condo complex throughout the summer looking for treasures.
