After moving away from the Dallas area 3.5 years ago, I am REALLY missing the Garage Sales the TWO area REI stores had.

Thank goodness an REI will be opening in Norwood this year! I was about ready to start calling the Detroit area stores. I figure I've got a year at most before the first garage sale.. :-)
