I think I secretly go to this store because it's owned by a little Chinese family so I can make…read morethem go oooohhh by the white blond girl that can speak Chinese. Little did they know I'm half Chinese heh! This is a fun little ethnic store on Pleasant Street in Malden that reminds me of the underground shops I frequent in China. That's not to say they are selling knockoff''s or B-grades.....but things do look very similar, hmmmmmm. It's one of those random $ store with most items at the $1 range, but of course a few like plants and TV's a little bit more. But in all, it's a fun store to peruse if you are looking to spend a hour doing some random one stop shopping. Gag gift - check, Moth Balls - check, Chinese inspired items - check, check check, sheets - check, toilet paper - check, moth balls - check , black & White TV - Check, Roni * house warming gift spoiler * a bamboo plant - check, cereal - check, suitcases - check, Wrapping paper - check, diapers - check, Belts - check, Chinese New Year Decorations - check, batteries check, lamps - check, shower curtains - check...........1 hour later .............spices - check, random bathroom toiletries - check, laundry soap - check, tools - check, school supplies - check, scrunchies - check, hair product check Oh did I mention everything is some weird sub brand with foreign lettering on it? Who cares! When you are on a budget, a cheap bastard or just want to spend a few hours amazed by the interesting trinkets this is the place for you. You will walk out spending $50 bucks and have 10 bags! * Not to mention, I think there is a 1 review a month quota for the town you reside in, so hopefully this covers it. So why 4 stars instead of 5? IDK it kind of smells a little too much like moth balls at times and I hate that smell. But at the end of the day it's a little Chinese family trying to make an honest living, so I though they deserved a nod. Hehe - and I needed something else to add to my home town list.

Yo....Garment District in Cambridge, MA completely flipped the script on me. Why was I expecting…read morethe whole 2 floors to look like a damn thrift dungeon with clothes on the floor??? Instead, Garment D. Is Organized, spotless and straight-up vibey. Two full floors to roam. Hot-pink walls, black-and-white checkerboard floors like stepping into an 80s music video. It's quirky, loud and proudly vintage. Everything's sorted with precision: pants with pants, denim with denim, tops with tops. These folks don't play around. And yeah, the majority of the clothing here is all use. But like I always do- I buy my stuff, take it home (or the cleaners), wash it and it snaps back looking like new. By the way- they do carry some new items- as in not used as well. My daughter and I bought some vintage denims, sweaters and a few other things. Zero mess. Zero stress. 100% unexpected.

I arrived in Boston needing some last-minute items for an event, and I got lucky because this place…read morecame in clutch! Parking: Mostly street parking in the area. Feels: I'm not too familiar with Boston, but I was told this is one of the original areas of the city. There are lots of businesses and apartments nearby, so the neighborhood feels lively. The shop itself is pretty vibrant and spans two floors. They carry a wide range of apparel--from vintage pieces to newer items and even costumes. Customer Service: Awesome. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall: 5 stars. They had exactly what I needed, right when I needed it. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe on a budget or find some unique costume pieces, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Tip: Check out their "by the pound" section--you can score some really great deals there.
