I volunteered here as part of a University program for a year, and it was one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences in four years of school. You'll never meet more dedicated, warm-hearted individuals than at this place, and you'll certainly appreciate people, and everything they have to offer, a lot more after. You don't need to dump ice water on your head to make a difference here though, just maybe consider reaching out to them about food, clothing, or financial donation options next time you're feeling altruistic and want to help your community.

This is one of the "secret" thrift stores where all of us vintage-aholics congregate. It's dirty…read moreand smelly and HUGE!!! A warehouse, filled with clothing, furniture, books, housewares, shoes, etc. A paradise for any brave shopper! And cheap! Did I mention cheap! However here's the rub... nothing has a price. Now, a word of advice. The crappier you look, the cheaper your item will cost. In my experience, the owner (who prices all of the items when you check out) will significantly raise or lower prices based on how you are dressed. That may sound paranoid to people who aren't in this business, but that's flea marketing 101. And hey, it's understandable. He wants his items to sell and, if he thinks he can get more $$ out of you (because you look like you have money), that's what he'll try to do. But, he will also bargain with you. Especially if you have multiple items. Score! Anyway, if you aren't afraid of a little dirt, grime, and the occasional smell of urine, this is your best bet to find "treasures beyond compare" in this city.

I came on a sale day where everything was 50% off. That meant I got about 5 items for $20. Pants and shirts were around $2-5, including a flowy Free People chiffon blouse.
