Neighbors: Would anyone like to have copies of National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines? There are about 2 dozen magazines in total. These are a treasure trove of information with outstanding visuals. I hate to put them in the recyclables if they someone could use them. As an alternative, please let me know if you know where I could drop them where they could be used.
