It’s the largest proposed cut in the Park Service’s 109-year history and will eliminate funding for roughly 350 park sites. Within the NPS are 433 official units (also known as parks), 150 related areas, and numerous programs that conserve our country’s natural and cultural heritage.

Garage Sale addicts should go nuts about this one. A Cleveland Heights collector (Ok, it’s former Big Fun owner Steve Presser) is unloading much of his four decades of finds from what he describes as “thousands of estate sales, garage sales, church sales, flea markets.”  Among the things he’s culling are bikes from the 60s-80s, pedal cars from the 50s-70, scooters, radios, mask, clothing and a huge assortment of collectibles. It happens Saturday June 7 and Sunday June 8 at 2604 East Overlook Road.
