This place is a phenomenal destination for people like yours truly who have watched one too many episodes of Mad Men and want to take it to the next level.

So my Columbus Oedipus love-story saga continues.

After my one-night-stand with the CCM market (I'll never forget you!), I began to feel that I could finally move on from the whole ordeal. I know that my old bike would want me to move on and find love…More »

This was the first store I went into on my first trip to Kensington Market, and boy was I delighted!

Sometimes, when I see a neat place with all sorts of antique-y fun junky sort of stuff I begin humming that song from the Little Mermaid, you know the…More »

I have almost totally fallen in love with this little store!

I stopped by here last night after the yelp event, because I had a voucher for a free cupcake from them. Well, they were all out of cupcakes, but that didn't stop me from taking a look…More »

I pretty much decorated my entire apartment with treasures form Eclectiques.

You see, my grandparents were moving to Florida permanently and I had a brand new apartment. Before leaving, they asked if we wanted all of their furniture circa 1972 left…More »

This is my new thrift store mecca.

I constantly find some amazing things here in this vast store filled with furniture, glass junk, books, records and ridiculous jewelry. Seriously, this place is huge.

I'm no dainty thrift store shopper. I pillage.

This is a good thrift store close to my apartment. I really like this place, even if it doesn't compare to the almighty VOA a couple blocks west. But I've truly found some nice things.

The place is organized really well, and most of all of the…More »

Rag-O-Rama has some really great stuff. However, they're not a thrift store. I've never seen a thrift store sell a shirt for $15. It's cheaper than the original price, but they're worn so...it kind of doesn't even count. It's called a 'consignment…More »

Once Ridden? Really? Because all I saw in there was 1/4 used bikes and brand new Fiji bikes that were $500+. I had also gone in there an no one had greeted me or asked if I needed help for over ten minutes. Finally, when I was asked and said that I…More »
