Thank you so much for doing a Scavenger post for the Midwest! I live in Lincoln, NE, too far away to pick up any of the drool-worthy items you post from any of the coastal cities you focus on--or from Chicago.

jd2- If you haven't already, swing by Nest... even when Lincoln's Craigslist is lacking (although it's picked up in the last year!), they're a great resource for great finds:

you guys should scavenge around in omaha's craigslist. it's a bigger city than lincoln and more people post!

Ewilde- I did check Omaha, but many of the things I found were gone by the time I posted this listing, so I had to take them out and suppliment the list with more. There are usually some really great finds in Omaha.

If you think your city has great finds and isn't being represented on the list, let me know so I can check it out for the next Midwest Scavenger!
