If there’s one thing that we love, it’s scoring serious deals on fashion, furniture, shoes and accessories. OK, if there’s one thing we love it’s loaded cheese fries. If there are two things we love, then it’s also the 18th Annual Lincoln Park Sidewalk Sale.
This Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21, hit the streets for a shopping excursion through more than 20 shops offering up 40 to 70% savings. If you work up an appetite, grab a bite from Toasty Cheese, The Sweet Ride or The Slide Ride.
