The City doesn't seem to care I think, as they don't' seem to do any repair. I try to avoid the City for this reason. And there isn't much there for me as far as shopping. Haven't found any good food myself. I don't eat in Columbus, for the reason stated above. The local merchants loss.. The only thing worth seeing, in my opinion is the Antique Mall. Other stores in town have antiques, but never seem to be open! Fun to window shop, but the windows haven't changed in the entire time I've been here, I think. Better call first. The Amtrak Holiday Train stops here. The train offers locals to contribute food to the food panty in town. Google it! A great experience! People also seem to enjoy the Fireman's Park events.

The service was okay and the owners were less tense once we were at the counter to purchase.

Absolutely loved the variety of items here, from brand new stone tiling to antique meat grinders,…read moreyou can never go wrong with having a little bit of this and little bit of that. I also loved how welcoming the owners were, just enough to be helpful but not overbearing where it makes you feel like you need to rush. Lastly, I loved their prices so much, I wish I could have picked up so much more. Next time I'll have to make a trip with an empty car just to visit this store. Would highly recommend this store who loves discovering treasures like I do!

I got a long-sleeve embroidered Dells t-shirt for $1.50 and was a happy camper!

This is the latter type, and they all seem to be very similar (Bethesda, Agrace, etc). Less crowds, traffic, anxiety, and clutter than Goodwill and St Vinnies, but also less selection. Check back regularly and you will find some treasures. For the most part the prices are fair. If I specifically need something, I start with Goodwill, because I have the best chance of browsing. But I dont always feel like stopping in Goodwill just to browse. Versus it can be very peaceful to stop in Boomerangs, or similar. I've probably been there a dozen times since they opened, and bought something 3 of the times. They have furniture, which not all thrift stores carry. The staff has always been helpful.

It appears prices are nudging their way down at this location. I actually found a brand new $60.00 Amazon TV wall mount for $4.99 still in the box. (Amazing. Someone probably got it as a gift and didn't appreciate it, so they donated it.) Needless to say, I bought that. All store areas were easy to access and safe to walk around without bumping into things. For a thrift store, the staff keeps it very clean. Impressively clean. All staff members were friendly and professional. My favorite reason for stopping by these stores is, ...you really never know what you will find on the shelves.
