Got a Garage Sale? Tell Chicago Heights Readers

Signs on intersections are good, but let your neighbors know about your sale before they happen to pass by it.

Summer is just about here, and it's time to break out the old tables and clean out our attics, basements and closets.

It's garage sale time!

If you're really looking to draw attention to your garage sale, your best bet is to use a community resource that lots of people in the Heights will see. Of course, you don't want to have to pay for this resource. It should be free. It should also be easy to use.
