Thrift & Vintage
Antiques & Things
Excellent medium-sized mall with that elusive balance of stuff that’s not too junky, but also not too precious. Awesome bargain treasures are sprinkled throughout, as are seriously nice, not-cheap yet-reasonable furniture and other pieces.
Barrett House Attic
You know those thrift stores where everything is totally crappy and you have to dig for hours to find what you’re looking for? And even when you buy something, you’re probably going to have to reattach a button/work on a stain/deal with odor from the armpit? Or those thrift stores where you’re kind of dubious about how your money or donations are being used? Yeah, well, Barrett House Attic is the opposite of those.
Buffalo Exchange
It’s a chain, of course, but it’s a good one-stop for groovy used clothing. Prices are just a little higher than the average thrift store, but quality is also high. Dig around long enough and you’ll find some decent bargains.
Classic Century Square
Three huge floors with hundreds of booths and thousands of tchotchkes, furniture items and thingamabobs. Luka’s Funky Stuff (third floor) always has treasures waiting for discovery.
Free Radicals
We gotta hand it to these guys. A punk, goth & greaser-accessory shop might not seem Burque’s style, but they’ve held solid the last 4+ years, proving the interest. Buttons, band patches, body-mod accoutrements and everything in between pack out the small showroom. From the street can typically be seen a herse and some of the more amusing public signage this side of the Harold’s bathroom.
Savers & Thrift Town
Stock your kitchen, light your living room, and find a cheap pair of slacks. Thrift Town tends to stock higher-quality stuff; Savers is a free-for-all of glassware, ancient electronics, vintage luggage and the cream of your 6th grade reading list.
The Purple Pink Rhino
Quickly becoming the place to resell your old drape for (slightly used) replacements. Men’s and women’s, plus purses, shoes, and accessories. A nice alternative to some of the more full-of-themselves chains you may be used to, but can no longer afford to love.
