CHICAGO — The entire Dunning neighborhood will turn into an outdoor thrift market with more than 50 unique vendors during the next two weekends, residents announced.

The neighborhood group Dunning Community Watch banded together dozens of homeowners for the first-ever Dunning Community Garage Sale, making secondhand stores out of 52 different front yards and driveways all across the Northwest Side neighborhood.

The community-wide event was organized as "a way to support local reuse-reduce-recycle, and keep money in our local community," co-organizer Jason Quaglia said. "It also provides a way for neighbors to get to know each other better which is very important in a community policing strategy."

The sales will be spread between two weekends, broken down by geographic area, Quaglia said.

The West Dunning sale, including 33 homes between Harlem and Cumberland avenues, will run from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The East Dunning sale, including 19 spots between Narragansett and Harlem avenues, is set for the same time on July 22-23.
