Well, here we are. Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial kickoff to yard sale season. And it looks like it’s going to be a good one.

Our flirtation with summer last week is supposed to give way to cooler, more seasonal temperatures. Good thing! We don’t mind the heat and humidity in July (actually, yes we do), but in May?

Check out this weekend’s weather report here.

Here’s our best bets for your yard-saling adventures:

A giant yard/warehouse  sale is 7 a.m. to  4 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 3108 W. Market St. in the city. This one touts household and office furniture.

On the East End, in Penn Oaks is a seven-family yard sale 9-5 Friday and Saturday in the Harrowgate Drive and Edgewood Road area.  Their ad lists lots of goods, including Star Trek stuff, a shower chair and a dehumidifier.
