I’ve recently developed a crazy devotion to explore as much of Ottawa as possible this summer. So this Saturday I decided to finally check out the annual Great Glebe Garage Sale. Surprisingly, I’ve never gone before despite loving second-hand shopping. My initial assumption was that it was just a day where everyone in the Glebe sells their old knick-knacks, but I was impressed to find it was a lot more than that.
I was also impressed with the amount of people that showed up for this event. I had heard on the radio that many people show up at 7 am despite the actual sale not beginning until 9, and now I understand why. Bank Street was filled with crowds of people either walking to destinations or shopping the sidewalk sales. Any street that happened to have a church was also packed with crowds of people, since churches tended to have the best selection of second-hand items.
My friend Corey came with me to check out the sales. We were fortunate that I have a friend who lives in the Glebe, so we were able to get easy parking in his driveway. Corey showed up looking well dressed for no reason at all, so of course I teased him relentlessly about it. Even better, countless men selling their items also poked fun at his style and offered him discounts on their hand-me-downs. Corey, being a good humored musician, was unfazed by the teasing.
The weather was unfortunately a little cold and really windy for the Great Glebe Garage Sale. It was definitely coat weather. However, we made the best of it by grabbing some coffee and eating treats regularly. We came by a Beaver Tails stand that was set up in someone’s driveway and we couldn’t resist the dessert; it was almost like fate that we stumbled across it.
In terms of good finds, I only bought a few items. I went to the event with the intention of finding some really good second hand PS2 video games, as well as some rings or jewelry. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any jewelry I liked besides a dorky $1 plastic ring (it’s a fish). I think the best find of the day was a DVD of Zombie Strippers that someone was selling. I didn’t buy it because I had a feeling it was an awful movie and the owner was asking for a lot more than I was willing to spend.

Quality content is the secret to invite the people to pay a quick visit the web site, that’s what this web page is providing.
Post writing is also a fun, if you know afterward you can write otherwise
it is complex to write.
I like it whenever people get together and share ideas.
Great blog, continue the good work!
Thank you for any other informative web site. The place else could I
get that kind of info written in such an ideal manner?
I have a venture that I am just now working on, and I have been at the look
out for such information.
What i don’t understood is in truth how you are not actually much
more well-appreciated than you may be now.
You are so intelligent. You realize therefore
considerably in the case of this subject, produced me for my
part imagine it from a lot of numerous angles.
Its like men and women don’t seem to be interested until it is one thing
to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent.
All the time maintain it up!
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot
of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any methods to
help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Hey there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a
quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading through your
articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics?
Thank you so much!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your
next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text
in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem
solved soon. Cheers
Now I am ready to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming
again to read further news.
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but
after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over
again. Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but
I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Thanks for your marvelous posting! I certainly enjoyed reading it, you are
a great author. I will make certain to bookmark your blog and will often come back
down the road. I want to encourage you to continue
your great work, have a nice day!
I every time spent my half an hour to read this weblog’s articles daily along with a mug of coffee.
each time i used to read smaller articles or reviews that
as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with
this post which I am reading at this time.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hello, I think your blog might be having browser
compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it
looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, awesome blog!
