Unique items at Neighborhood Yard sale Saturday

Hello,
I will be participating in the neighborhood yard sale on Saturday, September 8th only. I will be selling mostly collectible Barbies (I have about 100 all together) in new condition all in their original boxes. I have them priced quite reasonably and you can see some of the pictures of them here, Charity's Barbies for sale. So be sure to stop by my house at 1322 Epworth Ave. to check them out. It's not too early to be thinking about gift ideas and these dolls would make excellent presents!

Dayton ranked 16th among the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the United States for home foreclosures during the first half of 2007. Many of these foreclosures can be attributed to predatory lending practices.


"Predatory lending continues to be a serious issue, not just in Dayton, but across the country," Commissioner Lovelace said. "I urge anyone who is in danger of losing their mortgage to contact one of the agencies below for help and advice."
