Signs are up along Harlem Blvd. promoting the 39th year of the community garage sale that still has some slots open if you want to sell some things.

Can you sell at the Garage Sale if not a Churchill's Grove resident?

According to the Churchill's Grove website, all neighborhood residents can register for the garage sale for $10 if you're an association member, and $15 if you're not. Non-residents who use a resident's garage to sell their items are charged a $25 fee.

The deadline to register for the garage sale and be included in the locator map has already passed, but you still may be able to get a spot to sell your goods.
