Great vintage game and vhs selection along with vintage consoles and vintage clothing! I've gotten a ton a vhs tapes from these guys and have never had an issue with them! Plus every time I come back there's more in there selection! They even have a tattoo artist and bands that come from time to time! And they hose a badass pop events with tons of local vendors! Definitely recommend coming here the next time you're out thrifting! And give their page a follow to keep up with their event schedules!!

Overall a great spot to shop! There’s a good amount of stuff and having a place like this locally is such a blessing. Definitely one of my favorite spots to shop and I always bring my friends to check it out when they’re in town.

Probably the best thrift store I’ve been too. There’s so much stuff here from all generations. Some things appear a bit pricey, and some outright outrageous, such as the vinyl records. Can’t wait to come back!

Went to their Grand Reopening today and this place is amazing! It felt like walking into a 80s/90s time capsule of nostalgic goodness. I'm obsessed now and if you're interested in clothing and collectibles and accessories from your past (oh and also a lot of sports clothes/jackets!) you'll be obsessed too. They've also got a lot of cool wall art for pics and trippy chairs to chill in. My husband and I were in there for like an hour. Got a Star Wars Watto stuffy and a Taco Bell dog plush! We will be back for more!

My child and I checked Chasing Nostalgia out today and we loved it! True, honest to God vintage clothing, they have different "stores" inside from many artists. They have toys, records, tapes, Dvds, old game consoles, posters (NKOTB I see you!) Pins, stickers.... We found so many goodies! We will be back!

This is easily the best thrift store in Modesto. not only do they have those typical thrift store finds, but they are aimed towards pop culture. They have this cute hello kitty CD player playing all of the music in the store, and a corner of the shop that regularly changes to a different theme. Now if you love supporting small businesses this is the spot for you, not only are they themselves small, but they actually have several local artists selling their really well designed crafts in shop. Most recent thing I've bought here was a tasmanian devil backpack. Update: They have a pinball machine and also regularly hold smash bros tournaments.
