Would you rather have a garage sale or go to one?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on April 14, 2008

“I'd rather have one. The less junk I have in my house the better. I'm not much for holding on to things.”
— Caitlin Matthews, nurse, Lawrence

“Neither. I don't ever go to them, and I've never had one. I guess I just don't have any stuff I need to get rid of.”
— Art Davis, engineer, Merriam

“Go to one, most definitely. Having one is a lot of work. I've spent an entire Saturday tagging hundreds of articles of clothing.”
— Shelby Cook, yogurt vender, Birmingham, Ala.

“Go to one, because I'm looking to accumulate more stuff rather than get rid of any.”
— Chris Valentino, bartender, Milwaukee
