Our friend who passed away three months ago, had a deep love for his city of Oceanside. When we…read morewent to his memorial this past Saturday, someone was wearing a shirt that was totally his style. I was informed that it came from here. I have driven by MadStrange dozens of times, if not hundreds and never knew what it was until recently. I noticed the font of the "Oceanside" logo above the doorway and felt my heart skip a beat. Walking in, was like walking into Steven's closet! I recognized numerous caps, shirts, hoodies and stickers. I teared up and nearly cried while shopping. I picked up some matching t-shirts for myself and my husband that Steven wore often, and a couple other things. If you are a tourist visiting Oceanside or you are proud to live here, I highly recommend this little store! *RIP, Sgt Steven D, aka SGTCROW, we love and miss you.* Pros: - nicely curated, local - friendly - reasonable pricing Cons: - not the best side of town - parking lot design sucks - tops are a bit on the long side (not great for shorter people)

Thanks for making the experience so easy and enjoyable!

The next day I went back unused, with label still attached asking for refund due to defect of the trunks they told me they can't return it and can exchange it with something else. Lesson learned I will NOT recommend this place to anyone if they need to buy anything from them. Just walk across the street , you'll get better service and bigger bang for your bucks there. This is a tourist trap!!! STAY AWAY!
