Am guessing that Lincoln Park lists amongst the top Chicago neighborhoods for dumpster diving. While taking Elijah for a stroll, Amiel and I noted several large boxes sitting beside an overflowing garbage can. Sticking out of one box was a collection of unopened wrapping paper. We figured that anyone who would throw away perfectly nice wrapping paper might toss something else of interest. So we pried open a nearby box and found a framed piece of Dr. Seuss artwork encased in bubble-wrap. It had a Dr. Seuss Art certificate of authenticity on the back and the caption reads, "There's so, so much to read."
Rescued from the dumpster, the artwork now graces the wall above Elijah's bookshelf.

What a find! Congratulations. My cousin has been able to get and give several good items at her condo in downtown Mpls. but so far the practice hasn't caught on much in the neighborhoods. Boston has quite a good reputation for good finds. We still have to go to garage sales in St. Paul. Have a good weekend. gm
