every monday, the NYTimes runs a column called the metropolitan diary.. one episode recounted was a couple (dressed to the nines) on their way home from a concert at carniege hall passed a dumpster (skip) and saw a cello peeking out of the top..
the husband climbed into the dumster, (in his tux) fished out the cello, and then found the case, and with a bit of poking, even found the bow. he handed all of these to his wife, then climbed out of the dumpster.
they desided the haul was too heavy to continue walking home with so they took a bus the rest of the way..
you find working TV's lamps (i have several mongo lamps), shelving. (my first apartment after my divorce, i got all my shelving for bookcases, (and a open kitchen pantry) from mongo. recently, i was disappointed to be in manhattan with out my car (i rarely drive into manhattan, public transportaion is so much easier) and missed out on some good stuff..
