One sign that the local economy is coming back (or that more of the houses in the neighbourhood are again owner-occupied) is the return of the garage sales. There weren't as many this summer as there used to be, but there were some, and it's picked up since the schools went back.
This one today was advertised as an estate and garage sale. With signs taped illegally to no-parking signs, bicycle lane signs, and street signs. But it didn't look like either.

I got the Marvel/DC steeplejack poster (which is a reworking of this).
I didn't get a Barbie.
