Thank you Thunderbird for saving all of the UArts furniture, art, and other materials that you could. I went in on Saturday to grab a stool as a memento from my time there in the 90s. I didn’t realize how much I needed to be immersed in it all to help with a little closure on the abrupt ending of what we all thought would be an institution for years to come.

Good vintage store, and expect vintage prices for the most part. They are probably reasonably priced considering most of the items are true vintage, unfortunately a little too steep for me but I could see vintage collectors and people who enjoy cool items in their house loving this store. Some of the furniture is really cool, and then others so worn down they'd need to be professionally repaired. In general a great store for small knick knacks, some furniture, lots of dishware, etc, just don't walk in for a good deal. I was also freezing the entire time, so also recommend stopping by when its nice outside! Also the workers didn't greet anyone or talk to any customers while I was there, so I'd maybe feel a little uncomfortable buying something.

Such a great place to explore vintage items. A good assortment of old playboys, magazines and other books. Lots of unique collectables and interesting items. I saw a really pretty stained glass lamp. Fair prices. Definitely worth a visit!
