#1 in the "By the Side of the Road" series
Since this is the first in what I intend to be a series of posts about things I discover by the side of the road …
And since I think it’s highly likely that I’m going to laugh at …
rejoice in …
cast aspersions upon …
mock …
or in other ways wonder about the things that people put by the side of the road, and what those things mean about those people and the town and region they live in …
I thought it would be best to start off with some stuff I put out at the front of my own house.
There are no “covenants” in my neighborhood, as you might have guessed. We don’t pay dues to the HOA. We pay the city to pick up our trash and recycling. But we can put ANYTHING out by the side of the road.
“By the Side of the Road” is a series of photo-essays about things I’ve discovered by the side of the road. If you’d prefer not to receive essays in this series, you can go to Manage Subscription and opt out.
I've found some great stuff sitting by the side of the road - most recently a 4 x 4 foot silkscreen in turquoise blue of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's - perfect condition - now hanging in our stairwell... ;)
Funny but true story… my neighbor put an old sink and vanity on the curb with a “Free” sign. Sat there for a couple of days but no movement. So then he put a $25 sign on it and it was “stolen” in a matter of hours.
