I don't know if more of these places are popping up, or I'm just starting to discover them, but…read moreit's kinda like shopping in a thrift store, except all the junk has been removed. Last summer I was in Portland and found a few stores like this, however, the merchants appeared to be outside of their minds as they were all charging $20 for $5 worth of merchandise. Sometimes it's clear what you are selling isn't rare, isn't collectable and you just bought it at Goodwill or a garage sale in hopes of tripling your money. Most of what I saw here was priced accordingly. There was an item or two that had a vintage look that wasn't vintage which could have been less, but no matter where you go, someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. This place is entirely out of the way, but I did discover a great taco spot across the street, so when the weather changes, it's possible I'll make a day out of hiking, shopping and tacos. Kudos to this shop owner. It's easy for a place like this to charge lunatic prices and offend shoppers, but the reasonable nature of this store is clearly the key to its high ratings and strong business flow.

I had no clue Urban Squirrel was in the area so I was very excited to give the place a look. I was very enticed by what I saw outside. The place is antique oriented but it also has a craft like nature to it which is really cool. Some items are a combination of an antique and an art project which adds a very unique vision to the merchandise here. Urban Squirrel is a fun place to get a gift for someone or yourself and offer a unique, one of a kind flair to what they or you are receiving.

The pay by the bag thing was a total scam. I tried my best to navigate what was supposed to go in…read morebags and what was off limits but it was a mess. The smallest signs that said "not for bags" were written in sharpie on tape. I was sure I picked all the bag eligible items but when I went to check out every item was rung up. So instead of 7 dollars it came out to 23. In response to owner- I looked for the signs as best I could, I thought all these things I picked out were good to go. The signs are very small and not obvious so it's hard to tell what is individually priced and what's not. Everything in the store has a price on it. But yes next time I will triple read the signs to avoid paying 22 dollars for old pins and beads!:)

He was a really sweet man. I really hope he finds somebody to save these kind of stores. There's not a huge selection but there is some more rare things that I haven't seen in other locations. The tanks could probably be a little cleaner but the fish seem happy he also has some rarer items when it comes to accessories and he's always willing to cut you a deal. I will definitely be back in supporting this business their little koi pond is amazing even the Fish are friendly.

I did get a frog that was way overpriced but an considering it à rescue at this point. I don't think it's intentional, I think it may be more than they can handle on their own. Again, very nice people, but someone needs to help them out with the care of their tanks.
