*After this last year of living alone, I had forgotten just how friendly and kind people can be. I…read morewas pleasantly reminded of the better angels that walk among us during today's visit at Nostalgia. *In many ways, it's a typical second-hand store, considerably cleaner than most, though; and no 'funky' smells! *I stepped inside and explained my 'mission': a nice second-hand frame for a bit of recently acquired art work, AND since it was roasting hot, may I bring my leashed puppo inside? A friendly affirmation followed with a warning that there were THREE territorial katz in residence! I brought puppo inside, and yes THREE fine katz appeared. *Puppo ignored them, however one of the ladies offered to 'run interference' for us, as the largest kat, a massive fellow, wasn't too happy with a canine on premises! She walked ahead of us as I scanned each booth! Soon, I found exactly the type frame I was looking for, glass included! *Now I've been a second-hand aficionado for decades, and I've never encountered such kindness, folks. Second-hand stores are 'dime a dozen', staff such as these kind ladies are, are RARE! *Parking is a bit cramped, but handicapped access is superb! The interior is a bit cramped in areas, so leave the backpack and stroller outside. *Even though my frame was obviously used, they still insisted upon wrapping it up, AND carrying it to my vehicle! [bonus star!]

I just had to post a review because the experience was so unacceptable really. My boyfriend and I were shopping and as usual had a simple nice conversation upon entering the store with the sales person and then started to look. Then the comments started. The salesman kept making crude comments to my boyfriend and at first we kind of laughed them off. Then he started following us around the store, asking him to go to the "VIP" room with him or bringing him shorts to try on or off for him. Another time he came and asked him to try some vintage underwear on that were hanging in a booth. Finally, I said okay that's enough he's mine and tried to keep intrigue but let him know that this wasn't really our interest. He made some very lewd gestures and said even more inappropriate things and after that we quickly wrapped up our shopping and left. We were uncomfortable and frankly, we just aren't people who it's easy to make uncomfortable like that. It was icky. Not sure what was going on but it was really really bad. I don't know if he's the owner or just an employee but I know we won't be going back.

I feel like a Karen posting this, but I'm disappointed in the communication of this place to the…read morepublic about when they will be opened or closed. I came over here a few weeks ago on a Monday and waited for them to open and 15-20 minutes after opening hours no one was here and the door was still blocked with items. I called and got their voicemail which said that summer hours would include being open on Mondays 12-7. At that time there was no sign on the door saying closed for the day. I decided to try again today. Called twice before heading over to the store to see if they would in fact be open. Still no answer other than the voicemail, but the voicemail still said they would be open from 12-7 on Mondays. So, I decided to risk it. I just drove up to find out they still are in fact not open, at least they have a sign on their door (spelled wrong I might I add). If you are going to have a voicemail listing your hours of operation, you need to update it if you are going to be unexpectedly closed on a random, non holiday, day. This makes me very unlikely to come back because I don't want to waist my time or gas.

Although I found it to be outside my wallet price point, I really appreciate how Todd and his wife concentrate on mid-century vintage. This come-back era is hot right now and specialization gives them the ability to focus on quality pieces. All items are cleaned and treated - absolutely ready to be brought home. Super high end. I mean, you could eat right off those bright avocado green plates. Here's my two cents on why spot-clean is critical. It might go without saying in this business..but whoa!...presentation and suggestion for homeware use and decor is key. Especially for mid-mod items, the cleaner the pieces, the more vivid the color which just throws you right into back into mid-mod environs. They do a terrific job here. (I mean, do you want to take home a dusty, faded-color, fondue tray which lost its elements that evoke the era?) The whole shop knocks my socks off! Product displays are very well done and you are jolted back in time the moment you walk in the door. The vignettes keep a steady theme and the colors totally pop. Just like they did mid-century. Here is what you'll find: tables, mirrors and furniture, lots of lamps, plenty of paintings, canisters, radios, knick-knacks, funky book ends, lots of owls, plates and bowls and zillions more. They really do pack it in here. And they have so much more to display. I see this really as the showcase boutique for their online shop. Todd told me the story of how he and his wife fell in love with all things mid-mod whey bought their 1960s-something home. Try to catch them on the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month. The shop is only open occasionally. Definitely worth a visit.
