Cole Valley Improvement Association is sponsoring a neighborhood-wide garage sale, Sunday, May 17, 9am to 2pm
Neighbors and friends will swap goodies, discover treasures, and generally unload a bunch of stuff from their houses.
Last year’s sale was one part scavenger hunt, one part bake sale, and one part party, and we’re excited to bring it back for another year.
