In Short
You'll find lots of disco wear--leather and polyester pants, tube tops and tight T-shirts--at down-to-earth prices. Active folks will be thrilled to see old-style swim trunks and "Gidget"-style bikinis. And if rollerblades aren't for you, try a pair of sneaker-style skates. Vintage clothing for kids, as well as a "Rubenesque" section, are more reasons why this clothing store stands out. Also, check out the selection of accessories, including classic sunglasses and suitcases.

This little local place is cozy and comfy to poke around and try on some great old fashion from a few eras and accessorize with the great costume jewelry selection in the display cases. They have all kinds of things for men and women, it is great for halloween, prom, just dressing up and to keep up your own individual style. I love it, go take a look around.

I work not far from this little shop and the window's always look tempting with great vintage items in them. However I have been in there twice and twice I have had a bad experience, besides they're a bit over-priced. My first experience several weeks ago I was interested in Jewelry in the display case. I must have stood there and peered in for about 5+ minutes before someone decided maybe they should talk to me, (2 ladies where too busy talking to help me, the customer). When I inquired about the item I wanted to see the individual that helped me was not very cordial or friendly. I just chalked it up to a bad day, we all have them and I know when you work with the public it can be trying at times. I let that slide. Most recently I was walking by and was very interested in what was in the window. Now if you DON?T want to sale something in your shop - then don't put it in the window with other like items all with price tags. I was looking at one of the items because I wanted to give it a closer look before deciding to purchase it. I was promptly informed that the stuff in the window is not for sale and not to be touched....REALLY then why does it have a price tag and why was it hanging in the window? Needless to say I will never be back and I?m going to blab, blab, blab to all my girlfriends and sites such as this.

I just discovered this city search thing so I think I'm going a little crazy posting. It's so nice to be able to state what I feel about businesses. I can't tell you how many downtown places are just plain rude and this place was no exception. I stumbled across this store on my way to Johny Sole. What a mistake. I barely had time to look at anything before the front desk girl asked me to take my bags. I told her that all I had was my purse and my dog carrier with my dog in it and if I gave it to her my dog would freak out. She just walked away all mad. Now feeling uncomfortable from her response I left. Went to Johny Sole's place and found the cutest pair of summer shoes and a one of a kind summer dress. They never gave me any flack about my dog carrier, very helpful with the selection as well. Guess I can post something cool about them next!
