Is this you:

Have a self-storage unit.
Are tired of paying for it.
Have the “it’s spring, just-get-rid-of-all-that-crap” bug?

If so, do I have the idea for you. Not my idea, mind you. It showed up in the snail mail box this morning: a flyer from Grass Valley Self Storage announcing a “Gigantic Yard Sale” at a self-storage facility […]

After two and a half hours (and a previous meeting postponement) at the Nevada City City Council meeting, we got a unanimous “Aye” vote for a Resolution to close Union Street in downtown Nevada City for the 18 Saturdays between June 28 and October 25! Yay!
