Stocking my wardrobe for years and years. Wow! I'm a thrift store junkie. I've been going to various thrift stores since I was old enough to walk. This is by far the best one I've ever been to. Mainly because they aren't afraid to put out the old stuff! I've got 1950's vintage dresses, leather coats from the 70's, boots from the 60's! Every day someone says "I love that sweater" and I say "salvation army... $3.00." I probably shouldn't be sharing this here or with anyone, because you'll come buy all the good stuff! The staff is wonderful, very warm and quick to help you. The prices reflect central il thrift prices, but you're getting big city finds. The only thing I'd like to see improved is the lighting. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they're rips or stains because it's a little dark. But besides that, this place is heaven!
