| - Whoa, this place was pretty awesome. I find that most vintage stores inspire a somewhat polarized reaction in me; they either seem too expensive and contrived, or i want to hang out in there all day.
The prices in here were pretty good, for the most part, considering its obvious cool factor. What I appreciated is that the more expensive pieces actually seemed worth it, and better than what I could find in my neighbourhood Value Village for five bucks, which is not often the case with these kinda joints. What I loved the most was how frigging gigantic it was once I went in, it just seemed to keep going and going way back into eternity. It felt like entering somebody's very awesomely-decorated retro bungalow.
The displays were cute and interesting, cowboys and torsos and rows of carefully-sorted shoes and black and white photos on the wall, and belts and chests and knick-knacks everywhere, but in this large space it felt very appropriate and not overdone. There was considerable room to breathe, and browse and plenty to search through, and even a sale rack for $15! One day soon, I will go in and actually spend enough time to see *everything* in the store, and friends, I am both excited and nervous about the consequences.
