How can you not love a small community, public library that is solely focused on Mystery books and…read moreauthors? The two women working there when my family and I visited the last time were funny and intelligent. We enjoyed talking with them and hearing about the history of the library. The building itself is one of the original buildings in Milford, and I enjoyed venturing on to Water Street, aptly named, since it's right next to the Little Miami River in Old Milford. You won't be disappointed if you stop by here- especially if you are a mystery writer! TIPS- The staff was quick to point out to me that even though the overdue fines are 10 cents per day, it's only 30 cents per week since they are only open three days! Oh yeah- they are only open three days a week, so check the hours before making a special trip!

It has a selection of mystery novels much larger than most libraries - separated by genres. Worth a visit if you're a mystery or history fan. The library also welcomes small groups to use the space for gatherings - with advance notice of course! Hours are now: 10am-4pm Wed. & Sat., and 2pm-7pm on Thurs.

Plus, their fun gift shop and small library with lots of gardening reference books. Lots of the plants outside are labeled so you can see for yourself how well they grow in this area. Plus they have green roofs and so many ways to make it ecologically favorable as well as giving you ideas how you might do so yourself. It's wonderful to see this pretty landscaping not far from a fairly busy road. Do yourself a favor and visit them sometime. What a gem!

Much of the work is top notch and filled with some of the heavy hitters of Cincinnati's deep art history. The owner Doug also runs a restoration business so all of the antique work is in good condition. It is located in a very nice old building lovely appointed and well lit. They have their own lot so parking is a breeze.They have of late been hosting other exciting arts events like Portrait of a Soul and the Oil Painters of America. The staff is very friendly and very helpful if you have any questions about the art or the artists shown in the gallery. At openings they always have wine and delicious hors d'oeuvres. At large events in the summer it can get warm in the gallery if there is a large crowd mixing with all the painting lights and a struggling AC.

After winning, I was pleased to stop into the Gaza Sikes store, which was teeming with fabulous art. I'd stop in here anytime to browse, auction win or not, and I'd probably find something I couldn't live without. I'm currently checking out their December auction. It's very exciting.

I lucked out and won the auction for a 7 foot tall antique circus poster. I'd been looking for this poster for nearly 10 years, ever since I lost out on the exact same poster on Ebay. I was outbid and it sold for over $1000. But I ended up getting the one at Caza for less than 300 bucks! Plus, this one was in a full frame - a very expensive project if you pay a frame shop to make one for you. The shipping process was very organized too...fast and a reasonable cost. They actually got the entire giant thing to me safely - no damage. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro

I think if you are looking for some furniture at a reasonable price this would be the place to go look. They had desks, chairs, tables, and freestanding curio cabinets. There was quite a bit of home decor. I found some of the items were definitely overpriced compared to other thrift stores. But I still ended up getting a good deal on a couple of pairs of shoes. The day that I was in there they had a buy one get one free shoes and I paid $3 for two pair of shoes. Probably be worth another look at some point.

This has always been my favorite and go to thrift store over the years. The prices have…read moreconsistently been wonderful, and because pricing is managed independently at the store level, it never gets outrageous the way some larger chain thrift stores can. There are multiple sections of the store that are especially rich in great finds. The kitchen section is fantastic, with tons of glassware and kitchenware to dig through. They also have a large selection of wall art and picture frames. You'll also find plenty of trinkets, vases and planters, and furniture scattered throughout the store, which really adds to the treasure hunt feel. The main body of the store is filled with many clothing racks, and I've found a lot of great brands here, including plenty of Levi's jeans and similar staples. This is always the thrift store I recommend when someone says they want to start thrifting but don't know where to begin. It's approachable, affordable, and consistently rewarding. The staff has always been wonderful as well. There are a few employees who have worked here for years, and every interaction I've had with them has been pleasant and friendly. Sometimes the store can feel a little chaotic, but honestly, that just adds to the fun of searching through everything. Overall, I don't think I've ever left this store empty handed.

We walked into this compact thrift store and immediately noticed that it was chock-full of merchandise! We checked the daily specials on a large sign, grabbed a shopping cart, and dove into the massive amount of hidden treasures! I started in the aisle with tons of toiletries and household items. I immediately zeroed in on several packages of what looked like high-end face creams. I rushed to my phone to Google the product and was excited to discover the retail prices ranged from $65 to $89 per container. Yes, I bought them all for a cool $3.99 each! I then moved on to the sleeveless tops and slacks, since they were 50% off. I found several beautiful tops, plus some skinny slacks that still had the Macy's retail tag attached! The retail price listed was $139! Again, my excitement escalated! I found some nice picture frames for .50 cents each. I uncovered some marvelous discoveries! Positive experience! The drawback was that the clothes racks were so crowded that it was difficult to look at the clothes. Also, it wasn't the neatest store! So much merchandise shoved onto the shelves that you really have to know how to thrift store shop in order to uncover the real deals! Luckily, I'm a professional thrifter so I know the ropes, however, for a novice, it might be overwhelming! All in all it's worth visiting! Nice employees as well!
