    Huge store and vast selection! The employees there are by far some of the friendliest folks I've…read moreever met in a second hand store

    There's been a lot of talk about Trosa Thrift store around town lately. I've seen it all over…read moresocial media so a friend and I decided to check it out on a Friday afternoon. Trosa is located on Peters Creek Hwy in the Food Lion strip center at the Clemmonsville exit. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking which I love. Right inside the door is their whole furniture section, they have tons of tables, chairs, dressers , etc. they even have a whole section of office specific furniture. The prices are very reasonable. This would be a furniture flippers paradise. Towards the back they have shelves of everything from pillows to whole sets of dishes, sports equipment and the most medical mobility equipment I've ever seen anywhere. I'd say, if you are in need of a walker, a bath seat or portable toilet for someone look here because they probably have it at a fraction of the cost it would be to purchase new or rent. The clothing is grouped all together but they aren't keeping it organized as well as it needs to be. All different sizes were mixed in together and I quickly got frustrated and gave up. Both of us had found an item in the kitchen area we wanted so we headed to check out. The workers were very friendly as well. I'll definitely be checking out Trosa regularly in the future. Trosa supports substance abuse treatment. If you want to donate to them, they offer pick up for larger items or you can bring your items to their donation drop off around the back of the store. Just follow the signs.

    I met Mrs. Gray years ago through one of her sons. She was a real gem. I don't like the term…read more"character", but she was one of those things. And a good mother. I wish I had gotten to know her. Years ago, I went back to her shop. Mrs. Gray had died years before. Her shop was now a kind of exhibit place, and it was still filled with an incredible collection of "stuff" - toys, lunchboxes, wigs, figurines, buttons, everything you can think of - and lots of it in bins classified by color like a big bin of red toy cars. It was overwhelming and a lot of fun. I think the grand daughter or niece of Mrs. Gray was my friendly hostess in the store. I was allowed to roam the store freely - alone, stunned and amazed. They had named the place Elsewhere and there was some sort of organized group connected to the place. I got on their mailing list and sent them a contribution. Some years later, in 2014, I returned to my beloved hometown, Greensboro, for a visit. An old friend of mine and I walked the length of Elm Street, starting at the few blocks leading up to the Jefferson Standard Building - heading toward Lee Street. I relived many memories of my youth, my "hippie days" (circa 1967) and my working class hero days on that walk. We stopped in a lot of shops and the clerks and customers were friendly and seemed to like us. We supported those shops by making some purchases. It was quite a pleasant stroll. We reached Elsewhere. I hadn't been back there for decades. The people there were very full of themselves. They seemed suspicious of us, two traditional looking white old guys. I guess that was it. I've been around and I can recognize people who are too hip for their own good. They were entirely unwelcoming. I got the feeling that they wondered what we were doing there. They treated us like we were shoplifters or CIA. We wordlessly left the place. It was very disappointing to me. I did not send another donation.

    Not a favorite of mine, but others may find it enjoyable. There are tons of toys and gadgets to see…read morethere. For me it was messy and overwhelming. I had to leave. But others may find it interesting. The place is unique in that it's organized but it's got so much stuff, it looks messy. Personally, I avoid the place. Others may find it a fun place to take a date.

    This is a wonderful thrift store that offers everything for the home from books to shelves to…read moretablecloths to picture frames, all supporting a good cause. Unfortunately this location closed recently, supposedly to move into a new facility in Burlington, but as yet it has not reopened nor has a reopening date been stated. It's a loss to everyone who loves secondhand goods not to have Hospice Flea Market up and running again!

    Who doesn't love a bargain. And who doesn't love supporting a good, no--a GREAT--cause?…read more Hospice is so important--and often are the unsung heroes for those who are leaving this life and provide so much needed caring and comfort for those left behind. Someone gave me the head's up about the Hospice Flea Market. First off, I didn't really know where Haw River was. And the first time I took the trek out trying to find it, it seemed like I was lost. And then there it was--this HUGE thrift store in an understated shopping mall. We walked in and there is a huge variety of nearly everything! Books are nicely organized and rightly priced. Need some holiday decor--they have plenty! If you need anything for someone who has been incapacitate or needs additional nursing care, you're likely to find it here. What you WON'T FIND is clothing!!!!! So if you're looking for that, keep on driving and go to their sister-store in Burlington (Hospice League Clothing Store). What I love is that there are some hidden gems here. Their pricing is surprisingly high and there is no negotiation. But what is important is that you are supporting an AMAZING cause. So who doesn't mind paying a premium price for that? Check it out! And support them.
