is another mans treasure. This past weekend I was stumbling home from the pub and found a beautiful beviled mirror in some ones trash. It just needs a coat of paint stripped off. I have also found a maple sewing machine case that makes a nice table. Has anyone else found any cool stuff in the trash?

HAHA! so true! My sister was the queen of dumpster diving at the end of semesters. That is how she has furnished her apartment now! She was in Cedar Rapids though, not Iowa City.

yeah, they toss out really good stuff. especially the ones whose parents buy them a zero lot for the time they're in school and it's time to move out permanently, and they don't want to drag all that stuff back home. talk about christmas in june, LOL
