The people here are cool, and they're committed to social justice and activism, and the prices are good. It's a winning combo, although the sheer massiveness of the things--everything from doors to toilets to sofas to bedspreads to clip art for Windows 3.1--is a bit overwhelming.
What *WAS* underwhelming, however, was the fact that the store was selling two sets of dolls, some traditionally peach complexions, others painted midnight black with thin red lips. The white dolls? $5. The black ones? $3.
Talk about yoru 3/5 compromise. Ick.
I wanted to make it 3 stars as a result, but the place is so committed to helping the urban poor that I can't. just...damn, those dolls suck.
