The store's philosophy is to promote African fashion -"Buy and Wear African." I got a chance to meet the owner who was really nice.

Stickers, books, a photo-biography on Banksy (which is an AWESOME book)...check. If it's not food, you're covered. Just bring money. Lots of money. It can go quickly here, as the coolest of the cool t-shirts are easily double the only barely cool t-shirt's prices. And you will find a lot of knick-knack stuff that you won't be able to live without. And I will tell you, that when you start early at Vintage on a Saturday, those impulse purchases happen with much more frequency than you might like. All around, though, this is a store that you can spend an absolute ton of time in between looking through books, clothes, coffee mugs, etc, without spending a dime. I've not been here once without buying at least something, however. It's also a very wide open store, well lit, with a very friendly vibe and staff. I like coming here.

I was resolving all the unfinished drafts this day Having seen commercials on television, had I paid any attention as fully indoctrinated and conditioned American consumer is expected to, I might've known already. But the only conditioning I accept is the Pantene in my hair. But because I am a card carrying owner of a revolutionary devise that allows time shifting, a DVR, I can nearly eliminate the propaganda administered to the masses via the Slave Commerce and Religion Enhancer Device. (SCARED) aka what else? Your television. Now that I managed to somehow find a place for that little smug, amusing (to me) and revealing (to few) tidbit, I shall express my great JOY! T J Maxx has really cool stuff for the wanna be home chefs and all forms of other really neat widgets and the likes. Scored for a very reasonable fee, a Instant Pot duo ($99) with the air fryer lid for significantly less than what I bought myself last summer. This one is going to be my little sisters upcoming birthday gift. Don't tell her, she doesn't read my Yelps, so I know this isn't going to be a spoiler. For myself I scored a large bottle of my favorite Ghost Pepper sauce, I have the grocery store bottle in the cupboard at home, but this is like the COSTCO size, but the same price as the regular stores littler size. And a Viking 8" induction skillet. Less than $20 1/3 list. Happy happy Joy joy. I don't think anyone says that anymore. What ever happened to Ren and Stimpy? They were better than the new versions of distasteful cartoons for chemically impaired adults, imo.

Don't miss the best thrift/vintage shop in Milwaukee!!…read more If you need cool boots, Sole Salvation is the authority. Vintage dresses & coats, oh yeah! Fine quality leather, biker vests, and jean jackets, totally! They even have neat jewelry from local artists, estate sales, & older pieces that are perfect for cosplay or a night on the town. If you want clip on earrings that are affordable & hip, they got those too. For a smallish location with tight hours, I can't believe how much value they have packed into one location. It's just off brady on Humboldt, right next to Art Smart's Dart Mart. Ooh, plus if you catch them at the right time, often their selection will include 50% off sales, which is a godsend to an artist on a budget. The staff is incredibly knowledgable, & they have been really sweet to me on rainy days. They even have had some epic vintage jerseys that got snapped up before I could snag em myself. If you're there, don't forget to check out the cool stuff in back & to look up! The whole place is a throwback to the glory days of Milwaukee vintage. I try to get down there at least once a month.

There was a ton of clothing, and some purses, shoes, and jewelery. All at a steal of a price! They also have a formal wear area and some very nice fur and leather coats in the section further to the back. The best part of our trip to the store was Debbie. She was so very nice and I had just the best time ever chatting it up with her. If you're into great prices and wonderful people, I highly recommend stopping by. :)

I love Goodwill, this location does not disappoint…read more I've lived near this Goodwill for about a year which means I've been there a ton. It's a small location but filled with lots of little gems. Good location for: -Clothes (I've found great dresses here) -Shoes -Kitchen wares -Left over target clearance items (my fav!) Not so great if you don't like small areas and parking is kind of a nightmare. If you are looking for furniture items I suggest a different location as the space is limited and they only have a small area for furniture. Pro tip: Get the rewards card...you get extra discounts and opportunities. It is great.

They immediately included my daughter in the coloring activity that was going on when we arrived. There was a mouse mascot entertaining the kids and helping them color. The selection of children's books is amazing and there's a lot of neat toys and accessories too. They also have a selection of grown-up books to keep your attention while your kids play and explore. The shop is nicely decorated and extremely organized and clean. It's a relief to have a good indie opening again in Milwaukee after we lost several in the last few years. I highly recommend this shop to any family looking to engage their children in the world of reading.
