| - I like Savers as a chain because it's more organized than Goodwill and Salvation Army. Plus they have refurbished all the locations to make them more of a department store environment.
But I suppose kids will scream in any store that provides a toy department and parents that let kids run around.
I'm starting my review on the 2 others haven't written about yet.
This location is walking distance from some of my other favorite places. In fact, I used to live in this area. Divebar, Ihop, Putters, Tropicana cinemas, a super Goodwill, Pinball Hall Of Fame are all nearby. hell-mart is nearby, but I'd never recommend going there, based on principal of Goliath running local businesses down to empty spaces.
This location of Savers (compared to all the others) has probably the best book section. It's the most organized and they have the most books under the heading vintage/ original books. these are all books and some magazines pre-bar code era (around 1976?) I even saw an old magazine which I didn't think was a big deal until I skimmed thru it. It had pictures of 70's furniture and funky cars, bizarre toys, kitchen displays... It was funny, yet nightmarish at the same time.
when I go, I look at ties, short sleeve button ups, board games, books, and those plastic mixed bags of things for casino swag. I also look at electronics and used to collect casino glasses and plastic cups. I stopped because I have amassed too many to use/ display anywhere.
