Lampert Smith: Move Out Day should be national holiday

Those of you who haven’t checked the calendar may not realize that Madison’s biggest holiday is at hand.
Yes, I’m talking about Aug. 15 – Move Out Day, also known as Hippie Christmas and Trash-Picker Paradise.

It’s the day when the renters of Madison fling open their doors and throw their belongings onto the curb, so as not to have to transport them to their new place. It’s a messy, festive affair that is one of my favorite events of the year.
