Such a great place for resale items! It's a beautiful building on the inside and there's a great selection of clothes & furniture to choose from. It's such a great addition to the city.

Besides the variety of items they sell, I love the space they occupy. Just walk in straight back will the room opens up onto an old theater and take it all in. All purchases go to a good cause so go buy a bunch of cool stuff!!
