I live just east of SoBro, though I'm known to claim the area as my homefront. It's an area I just…read moreplain love, a unique combination of urban edginess, friendly people with just a bit of attitude (like me), and a surprising amount of cool businesses. SoBro Vintage Market is probably right on that line between what would be considered SoBro and Broad Ripple, though it undeniably carries a SoBro vibe. In case there's any doubt, this is a vintage market. The vibe tends to change here from visit to visit, though I'm not going to say I actually frequent the place because, quite honestly, it's not always particularly wheelchair friendly. Some of this stuff is vintage enough that I don't want to take a chance on breaking it with my chair. You can get art here. You can get music here. You can get clothing here. You can get some furniture here. If you look up this place on social media, you'll see that they actually have "& Curiosities" in their name - that's appropriate because they have quite a bit that I would simply call "curiosities." Prices range from "great deal" to WTF?" It seems like when I've been here, I've always seen quite a bit that falls into mid-century. That's kind of appropriate considering an awful lot of SoBro would fall into that era (including my home - a 1955 California ranch). When they are open, they are known for putting some items outside (which is how I finally stopped - I saw a wonderful retro dining room table that was to die for). People are friendly and knowledgeable. I honestly don't know a lot about the place, other than I find it to be ultra-cool, and I've never stopped by that I didn't see something I'd want (and will sometimes get). If you're into the vintage scene, SoBro Vintage Market is definitely worth a visit. If you have mobility issues or are a wheelchair user, just be aware that sometimes it gets pretty tight inside and you'll want to exercise caution.

I stopped by Thrifty Threads yesterday before leaving town because I needed some new shorts and I…read moreneeded them cheap! I was impressed by the boutique sections & ended up with 1 pair of excellent shorts, 2 dresses, & 4 shorts for a total of $27. What an excellent price! If I'd had more time, I would have stayed longer & probably found some nice home goods. The young male cashier was very nice and respectful. When I return to the area, I'll be back!

There's a new Thrifty Threads! It's located near the Castleton Sqaure Mall. For those not aware,…read moreThrifty Threads benefits The Julien Center, an Indianapolis nonprofit that helps people who are experiencing domestic violence and abuse. So the money from your purchases, as well as your donations, all go toward a great cause. This new thrift store is so clean and organized. Probably 75% of the store is clothing, shoes and accessories, but they also have a great selection of used books, DVDs, and even cassette tapes and VHS for the old heads. The prices are amazing. One of my kids bought a board game for $2, and the other found a Wii game for $3. There are lots of quality home goods and kitchen stuff, too. Nothing is junky -- you can tell that they are discerning about the items that they choose to display in the store. I visited the store on its second day of being open, and I noticed that it didn't have a sign out front yet. It's still early days for the store, though, so I'm sure they'll put a sign out at some point. In the meantime, just look for the banner that says "grand opening."

Wheeler is a much better place to donate than Goodwill because they value what you donate and treat…read moreyour items with respect. They do not run big outlet locations like Goodwill where they dump donations in huge bins for people to root through and damage. You can drop off items behind their store, or in off hours bring them into the store. They so not spend tons of money on fancy TV commercials and fancy stores. Their profits go to directly serve homeless people and those with substance addiction problems. I personally know one of the people they helped to turn their life around. Please make the little extra effort to go to their thrift store which is east of the super Walmart on 96th to shop and donate. Help this small organizarion continue to do good work in our community.

The Wheeler Mission Store is one of my go-to thrifting spots. Is it the cheapest? Naw. Is it…read moreclean and well organized and have a good variety of things to choose from? YES! This location is on the same side of the road as the Walmart and in the same plaza as the Petco, Platos, and the Autoparts store. The staff are super nice and there are a lot of volunteers walking around as well. I have found several things that are new with tags (priced accordingly), tons of name-brand goods, and there is rarely that funky thrifted smell that permeates everything you get from the WMS. They have everything from clothes to furniture/household goods to really nice jigsaw puzzles. Everything is super easy to find. Prices here at the Mission Store are a little higher than places like Goodwill, but every purchase supports the Wheeler Mission by providing meals and funding for training to their residents. There are also hand-made candles and other wares that the residents make while staying at Wheeler for purchase. Once while shopping I noticed it was busier than normal and the associate explained that they allow Wheeler residents to come and shop for what they need to get back on their feet. COOL!

This was my first time inside an antique store - or antique mall. Although I didn't make a…read morepurchase, it was interesting seeing all the different things you can possibly buy at JW Riley's Emporium. There are a lot of dolls. Many that freaked me out, haha. But there were other neat things, too, like teacups, fabrics, figurines, etc. There's a lot to look at inside if you have the time to peruse the various set-ups. This is right across the street from the Lincoln Square Pancake House in Greenfield.

I have gone to this antique store for ages and I don't know why I have never reviewed it. I love…read moreantique stores and thrift shops and this one has a lot of different vendors in it so you get a pretty unique mix of things. You never know what you will find on any given day. I always seem to find something that I want to bring home. My girlfriend and I had a great time shopping for several hours and we never even did get up to the top floor. Nor did we get all the way over on the bottom floor so you can see there is plenty to look at. I did find some jewelry I like and I usually do in here the prices are pretty reasonable in most of the booths. When we get up to the counter to pay there is usually a lovely lady or two to help us out. I will continue to stop in this antique store for as long as it is here!

I said to the lady behind the counter that not many people would pay $5 for VHS tapes and she responded with "Yeah, well we sell them at that price every day." I said, "You don't have to argue with me" and we left! Goodwill and other Flea Markets average $1 for VHS tapes, including brand new and sealed.

My only regret is that I don't have a bigger house to put it in! :). The only concern I have is that it is an older building, and you go down to the lower level, there is definitely mildew. If you have concerns about that sort of thing, you shouldn't go down there. Other than that, I have no complaints at all. They also have antiques and some collectible things. The staff is nice and helpful and you just never know what treasure you're going to find! I look forward to going there every time. :)

They shortened hours on Labor Day. From the outside, the place seems small with bigger items typically outside to grab drivers' attention. They have a variety of (new and used) merchandise including furniture. It is like a Goodwill store but more organized. I was told that the items were donated, and they do not have sales. I bought a lap desktop with folding legs and section holders; it would be so helpful especially when I tend to find writing utensils that have fallen between the couch cushions. Also, a green long-sleeve dress shirt caught my eyes so I had to go look at it, which happened to fit me; how could I resist buying this name-brand, attractive shirt! I used that coupon for the shirt, so I got more savings than for the desktop. There seem to be a couple of spots I would like to try to wash out of the shirt. So both $5 or less. Sold! When I got home, I realized that maybe the shirt was new because there was a spare button attached. I will see if the ink on the sleeve comes out. I think the store changed its name to Noble Cause (but still led by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul) and did change their hours to M, T, Th, and F 9-3 with Wed. and Sat. only to serve from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's food pantry. I would return when and if convenient but definitely if I get a coupon.

They…read morehave hard to come to hours for the working person, but when I did come I used to spend $100 or more but today I was really disappointed to see their prices have gone way up. As a reseller the China and dish prices were so high nobody could get them in the hands of a collector at a decent price. Please revisit that and try not to compete with goodwill. I also noticed that usually the place is packed but this time hardly nobody was there and it may be the prices. Since it's hard for me to get here because of no evening hours if it continues I won't be back on a regular basis, it's sad because money goes to a decent cause but things need to be bargain prices not boutique.
