Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Store Shopping
I can get behind rap records about thrift stores. And rappers named after Mark McLemore. And affectionate goofs about sneaker heads. So that’s three, and I should probably post this, right?
(Thanks, Duane)
Rapping about thrifting? Yes, please!

The Collections of @johnroderick - here I am, 41 years old and only now am I figuring it out: the globes go UNDER the piano. (Taken with Instagram)
It is aptly titled, “The Worlds Longest Yard Sale!” Every year individuals clean out their closets and stake out their front yards along the Hwy 127 corridor stretching over 690 miles from Addison, Michigan to Gadsden, Alabama. They ban together as communities, in groups or as individuals and over a four-day weekend they welcome the onslaught of visitors from the North and the South. It is a mutual exchange of cultures with a common goal; to look, buy and sale! As you transverse the country roads, you will hear a collection of dialects, be privy to incredible stories related to the individuals and the items they sale and see a plethora of items that only your grandmother could love. Most importantly, I think most come to see the unusual and socialize. It is Americana at it’s best.” ~ Dennis Keim

“When most of us look at yard sales we see piles of junk and the occasional deal. But when photographer Greg Ruffing looks at yard sales he sees the sociological underpinnings of America.
After traveling the country for four years shooting Yard Sales, Ruffing’s photos document consumer habits, low-budget marketing, the movement of military families and telling evidence of the economic recession.”
