We've been in multiple times for a variety of things. They've got vintage clothes, retro memorabilia, records, and antique furniture, etc. I like all of the dinnerware and art pieces. We recently bought a Carl Bissman table at a great price. The staff was great every time we've come in. I highly recommend you take a stroll through and see if there's anything that sparks joy/inspiration.
