    Almost 20 years since opening Nitty Gritty continues to offer unique finds by the decades, including costume rentals. The first floor is women's and second floor is men's. The bulk of the items are clothing but the store also offers accessories, shoes, purses, hats, suitcases, travel bags, kitchen decor and home decor. A few Playboys are even tucked away on the shelf. The items are fun and in good shape. Most are fairly priced especially for something unique. Just looking at things took me way back and made me smile. My only issue is the women's clothing is mainly small and medium, which I am not. I'd assume this is the same for costumes. So, not a good place for me personally but I have to give the store credit for what it offers to others.

    Nitty Gritty has become the go-to place if you are looking for a specific genre of vintage clothes. 70s disco? 80s glam? Square dancer? Flapper girl? Poodle skirt? And just plain hipster vintage awesomeness? The Nitty Gritty has the nitty gritty -- I see what they did there -- of putting your desired look together. And it's not just for the ladies. The Nitty Gritty keeps the fellas in mind as well. Plus, I'm very excited that they are doing more with costume rentals, having recently acquired several outfits from another costume shop that went out of business. I was in need of a circus ringleader outfit for an event -- ya know, as one does from time to time. The owner was able to outfit me with a glittery gold top hat and a red marching band jacket that adequately served double-duty. And since these pieces are truly vintage, that means they weren't the cheap, polyester, likely highly flammable items that you get if you go to a new costume store. I paid about $35 for a one day rental, which didn't break the bank. Nitty Gritty also has vintage pieces that you can buy. I've perused from time to time. The only negative I've found is that it can be hard to find items in anything but size small, but I know this is difficult with vintage pieces in general. And the owner and staff have always been the epitome of helpful and kind, taking time to go through pieces with you and search for just the right piece. Nitty Gritty is impeccably clean and organized, making it easy to peruse all that they have for a particular look or time period, and has accessories, shoes, costume bits (like gloves and ties) and other goodies mixed in. Whether you want to buy or just browse, Nitty Gritty is a fun trip to make.

    Awesome store and very friendly owner. If I lived here I'd be in every week! Be sure to check the upstairs sale room.

    The two women working the store (owners, I think) are friendly and more than accommodating.

    This is a delightful vintage store! All of the clothing is so meticulously organized by color,…read moresize, and type. Her selection of dresses and skirts was impressive. I bought a dress here today that likely just became my favorite article of clothing. The prices seemed really reasonable for the type of fabrics and quality.

    One of my kiddos LOVES vintage clothes. We drove past the Neon Flea the other day and I knew once…read moreshe saw this place we were going to be visiting soon and I was correct. We stopped in yesterday after lunch and spent close to 45 minutes looking around. The store itself isn't huge but it's bigger than it looks from the outside and there is a great selection of things for sale. They seem to have everything from clothing to jewelry to accessories to matchbooks and even old Playboy magazines. I was very impressed with most of the prices that I saw because honestly they seemed pretty reasonable compared to what I typically see at vintage/thrift stores these days. They were even having a sale on swimsuits! The lady working was also friendly and offered her assistance but also left us alone to peruse which I always appreciate. Ultimately all we purchased yesterday was a mood ring but the kiddo is saving her money for clothes and wants to come back when she's ready to add to her wardrobe so we will definitely be in again. The Neon Flea is a nice addition to the neighborhood!
