City Hall sources tell me that Mayor Kasim Reed will be participating in at least the first hour or so of what I’m calling the Great City Hall East Rummage Sale©. Whether that means he’ll be running the cash register or acting as something of a Wal-Mart greeter for the presumably hundreds of eager shoppers is something I don’t know at this point.

Oh, and I finally got the hours for the event. Beginning Monday, Aug. 23, and continuing through Saturday, Aug. 28, the sale hours will be 9 a.m.-4 p.m. My understanding as of now is that entry will be through the front doors on Ponce. No pushing, please!

No word yet on whether folks will be allowed to camp out the night before to get a good spot in line. But, frankly, if you’re sleeping on the sidewalk in front of City Hall East, how would anyone know you’re not simply homeless?
