Here in Boston, "Allston Christmas" has become a well-known term. It refers to the events of every June here, when people cruise the student-heavy neighborhood of Allston looking for good stuff thrown out by students moving out. (If you do this, remember that you need to be prepared to deal with bedbugs.)
- pavel_lishin 4y agoI think most college campuses have something similar. When I was in college, I did the same thing, and noticed quite a few other folks going around rescuing furniture.
