    Thank you so much for posting a midwest scavenger! it's easy to find good furniture bargains in the big cities on the coasts, but harder for those of us in smaller cities in the middle of the country. I appreciate the help! I hope you have more midwest-friendly posts, e.g. good advice for online furniture shopping!

    The orange fiberglass vintage child chair's was once mine, I swear. I was once a vintage child in the midwest. My only question is: how did my chair get to Milwaukee?

    I use CraigsList often, but never realized what a gold mine of mid-century marvels it was! Good looking out!
