Lovely local shop! This is the kind of place where you can find that perfect card or gift that makes you look clever, tasteful and unique. As others…

I went to this store a handful of times. The items that I find here are either new or slightly used and in very mint condition.

This store is also one of the cleanest I've ever been too. The staff here is also very friendly. I'm sad to know that it is closed =(

This is one of the sadder Salvation Army stores -- not many designer finds here, since it gets picked over pretty well by people looking to resell anything from the Gap or better to Crossroads or other used clothing stores.

They have a pretty big collection of VHS tapes, and I once found a pair of women's switch snowboarding boots here in almost new condition for $12 -- but good luck finding a pair of switch bindings these days.

It's an ok place to buy a bookshelf or silverware, but overall the merchandise is pretty tired and it's not the best thrift store around.

Since I'm not looking for designer finds but rather a pretty solid selection of used clothing, I'm happy with this place. Got a beautiful glider here too, barely used, for something like $25. I'm a fan!

I found in perfect condition: 2 Kosa Boda plates and a cup for $1 each. These hand-made crystal pieces from Sweden usually retail for $20+.

Very sad to drive by today and find the store emptied and vacant.  I always found treasures there and the staff were so sweet.  I had no idea it was about to close when I last visited a few weeks ago.  Farewell to a fond friend - you will be missed!

Cheaper than the Goodwill up the street. I've actually found quite a few things here (clothing wise.) They have a good selection of mens pants & blazers in the back. The rest of the merchandise selection is really pathetic though.
