Where is US 127?

POPEYE

It runs from Lansing MI to Chattanoogo TN.

I spent 5-6 hours about 3 years ago browsing at the sale. As with all "Yard / Garage" sales, other than the crafty things or antiques, mostly junk. However, I keep getting reminded by the females in my family that one man's junk is another man's treasure.

I live in Florence, KY. Since I don't know where you are in OH or even whereall 127 runs, I can tell you only that closest from Cincinnati is Covington. You can pick up 127 there and it runs parallel with US 42 for many many miles.

I'll be going. I love this yardsale. I think I made it 5 miles in 1 day last year!

This is interesting. Do you pull your car along from one house to the next, or park on the highway, or can you walk from one home to another? Sounds like a great opportunity for a fatality too.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-27-05 AT 03:43PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Actually it is alot of fun! My sister owns an antique shop in Lawrenceburg, KY and she lets vendors set up on her property to sell. Usually I have to stand in the parking lot to direct people in and out!

It makes for a long day, but it is so much fun! You meet people from all over. Last year there was a guy from California who came through!

You do have to be prepared for the traffic though. Just watch where you are going and be careful.

This year I'm going to check license plates to see where people are from.

I'm hoping I'll lose a few pounds also! x:D

Be on the lookout for a 1977 Suburban, Mississippi plates, with glasspacks, curb feelers and a boomerang antenna on the back.

POPEYE

Beware, this described vehicle will probably be full of colored bottles collected along the way.

Hopefully, we're not talking about wine or beer bottles!

POPEYE

Beer , wine, whiskey, taco sauce, mayo or mustard. As long as it has color and will fit on a tree.

LivindonSouth

Not familiar with a 'boomerang' antenna. We call them 'whip antennas', or a more correct dialect would be 'whup antenna'. Also notice the running boards made out of shelacked two by fours.

And the coon tail hanging off the radio antenna.

Any Barbie dolls glued to the hood? ;;)

TN HR

Yes, Barbie dolls on the hood and a sticker on the back bumper that reads: I Break For Brunettes.

Don't forget the 2x2 door-magnet sign reading, "Official S.A.V.E. Consulting Vehicle".
I'm gonna get you. Every one of you. I take names and have a memory.

TN HR

"Official S.A.V.E. Consulting Vehicle".

I was under the impression that the official S.A.V.E. vehicle was actually a replica of the 1959 ambulance used in Ghostbusters. I had no idea a second vehicle had been comissioned.

POPEYE

I heard that the official vehicle was a John Deere MS1266. That's the only product that John Deere won't stand behind!!!!! It has a capacity of over 175 bushels of manure.
