“The new owner is very nice and the negative comments are about the old owner. The store is wonderful and the new owner is very nice to customers! Lots of stylish clothes and deals at this establishment.”

“The Ditty Box is a great little thrift shop! Though the shop is in a relatively small space, there is a good selection of clothing and dishes in particular. There is a small games/puzzles section (one of my personal favorite thrifting categories!) and a fabric section with EXTREMELY reasonable prices for my fellow aspiring sewers out there! Another huge plus: they even have a *Free* section with a variety of odds and ends! I got a wireless mouse (which hopefully works) and a JFK portrait (which I intend to hang up somewhere confusing to mess with my fiance) in the free section on my visit today!My favorite personal observation of this store is that they are incredibly generous with pricing; if an item has a preexisting tag on it they default to the lower of the tag prices, which is really nice. Even at Goodwill they'll charge you $5.00 for an item that clearly had a $0.50 price tag on it, so I really liked that they err on the side of caution when pricing items. The people who work there are also apparently all volunteers working with a local church (a "Congregational Church," no immediately recognizable denomination that I can tell; just wanted to add that for anyone whose decisions may be affected by that). Everything on the bag in my added photo only cost $12, and I got 3 books, a LOT of good quality fabric, a (hopefully functional) wireless mouse, a framed picture, a ship model kit with the building pieces still in sealed plastic, an embroidery kit, and a small sewing pattern! Feels crazy just typing it all out!Anyways, The Ditty Box is definitely worth checking out, and they will definitely do you right when you shop there!”
“There is a wonderful friendliness here and it's a simple and efficient way to part with clothes and accessories and earn a few bucks. Everyone I have worked with is kind, knowledgeable and fair. I have had nothing but great experiences here; I highly recommend!”

“One of the better Salvation Army stores in the area. A large selection of clothes. A moderate selection of books but a larger selection of movies and music. There is a selection of furniture, knick knacks and toys but it is small. The place is clean and maintained. Bathrooms are available but the men's bathroom has been a victim of graffiti. Donations drop off on the right side of the building. The staff inspect and sort through the donations. I think ? they have moved all of the donation boxes from around the area and in nearby towns here. Plenty of parking. Service is ok.”

“I have been a donor and customer of Fair Tide for years. Recently however I have noticed their prices are high and their donation storage full. Better to lower your prices and sell more than sell less because of high prices. They do have a 1/2 sale on the last Sat. of ea. month. Perhaps more special sale days would reduce the inventory making way for more donations. That being said, their mission is wonderful and I will continue to donate when they have room.”
“This is one of our favorite Goodwill stores, anywhere in the U.S. The range of merchandise is always impressive. The prices are astonishingly good. And, though they're often short-staffed at the registers, every staff member we've chatted with has been cheerful and helpful. The store's drop-off door is superb as well, making the process fast and easy. After visiting Goodwill stores in many cities and states, this remains our #1 favorite.”
“Staff is very friendly and polite! I visited here last summer and as an exchange student, it was a pleasure to contribute. Also I had a beautiful jacket and I took many pictures with that in New York City!
Looking forward to visit again this summer!”
