really cool interior especially for a thrift shop, found a great book and accessories here, not a super big selection of clothes but I had a feeling it’s frequently restocked and rotated

Unbelievable selection! I was visiting a friend from a different state and I was blown away with the vibes in this thrift store. Hope to be back sometime :)
