It's completely bearable.

A recent find from the upscale cousin* of MVFTS (aka My Very Favorite Thrift Shop).  Some manly man type would probably love this for Christmas or his birthday or the first day of hunting season.

*Here's the recent story of MVFTF: For a few years they had four stores in town, located in the worst possible neighborhoods.  Each store offered a chance to a) get your car vandalized or stolen, and b) find a find worth hundreds of dollars for less than five bucks.  Over the last five or six years, they've closed three of them.

Then they rented space at an adjoining site to the Big Mall (if you're local to the City of Bothersome Love, you know the one I'm talking about) and instead of keeping the name of the chain, gave it a hoity-toity retailey moniker.  It has decent lighting and somewhat safe parking, and almost all the employees speak basic English, but the mind-boggling, life-changing finds are extremely sparce there.  I was lucky to find the bear.

  1. Does this thrift store next to the Big Mall have constant announcements on the loudspeaker system and a 'showcase' where you can find the Dogs Playing Poker?
