FacebookIt's free store time again, and this edition is at the Pullman State Historic Site. That includes the Hotel Florence, which will be open for viewing so you can do some site seeing while you're offloading and collecting free shit. Organizers promise to have a grill going both days (bring your own grillables to eat and share), and there's a veranda they'll be using in case of rain. Hours are noon to six Saturday and noon to four Sunday.
The site's at 11111 S. Forrestville. For more info: salem@temporaryservices.org or 773-562-1428.
