This weekend I wandered away from the noise (it was happy noise, but still, too early for me to cope with on a Saturday morning) created by the neighbor’s rented jumping house/slide to see what was at the West End Neighborhood Tag Sale. I was under the impression that a few people on a block would be putting out items to sell. I had not prepared for the level of garage sale-ness that I would encounter. The West End Civic Association prepared maps listing the 16 sites that would be hosting tag sales on Oxford, North Beacon, Beacon, Cone, Tremont, Kenyon, and Warrenton Streets, and on Farmington Avenue. I ran into four people that I know, and finally got to meet Amy, and I limited my browsing to only two of the streets. I spoke with the organizer of the West End Farmers’ Market who says that they got a great turn-out on Friday, despite the impending rain storm.
