⨳ I have absolutely no doubt that if you were so inclined, and not at all worried about bugs or smells or what the neighbors thought, you could furnish an entire house with discarded furniture, appliances, art, and assorted items found in alleys or at the curb.
⨳ One day I’m sure I’ll figure out some way to organize all the photos I have of this stuff. Then I’ll make a bunch of really unappealing posters that I’ll print, sign and frame, then leave all over town so a few good and brave people can furnish their home with discarded art left in alleys made from discarded home furnishings left in alleys.
