My granddaughter (9) took the photos as I drove by. Couldn’t really slow down to get a better shot. I think she did pretty well.
Here’s the story. Click for article by Justin Vellucci.
Lots of car parts. At least 50,000 pounds! Dredged from the Allegheny Riverbed.
There’s a great photo in the article mentioned above.
You can count on an abandoned couch, curbside, just waiting to be photographed when I pull into town.
Sunday afternoon I drove to pick up my 8+ year old granddaughter to come and spend the summer at Grandma’s house. It was a long drive and we were almost home. I had just photographed some patio furniture left on the curb for pick up and in the next block I saw a big dollhouse.And I mean big!
I parked and went to the door and knocked. Is this for the garbage? Yes, you can have it. Oh my, Well we hauled it across the street and it was sooo big (which I didn’t realize before we carried it, that it would not fit into the back of my Subarau Outback which can hold a twin mattress!
So we put it back on the curb, disappointed for sure. I told Steve, after we unloaded the car with suitcases, that we saw the most amazing dollhouse but we couldn’t get it in the car.
Then he disappeared.
In about a half hour he returned with the dollhouse, He dragged it on a big cardboard until a lovely neighbor saw him struggling and assisted with a wheeled scooter.
And what a doll house it is A luxury mansion. Two hours of dusting cleaning cleaning cleaning and my finding some furniture and Laura’s dolls from her childhood and we have a terrific play place for the summer.
I brought out the little rug playmat for cars so she can sit on the porch without touching the chilly tile floor.
This color image seemed to want to be edited to black and white. I pulled over to the curb to catch it through the car windshield so that’s a bit of a filter already.
The abandoned furniture curbside collection added to by my sister, my daughter and me.
Mary sent this pic from Bleecker and Grove Streets Greenwich Village NYC
Laura sent the recliner pic from Clintonville Ohio 
I’m not intending to turn this blog into abandoned furniture daily in the world. Seriously. There’s a lot of it out there, though. I bet you notice it too. Think of me.
Don’t want readers to look and respond “ho hum, it’s trash.” Again.
But you know I had to pull over to the curb when I saw this wee wing chair
Two discards in a week. One in Columbus Ohio but this one was right in my neighborhood. A couple of daily blog followers alerted me via text to the location of this upended couch. I walked to the spot, shot a few photos. It was 26 degrees outside so I didn’t linger. I loved that they saw abandoned furniture and thought of me.
