Have a stoop sale
A stoop sale gives you a Quadruple Whammy:
You get rid of junk.
You can find a new home for the things you no longer have a use for.
You can schmooze with the neighbors (bonus points if you augment your stoop sale with a bake sale).
Make a few bucks!
You can increase your audience by teaming up with [...]
