Yesterday's Best

Oh, thrift store row. How closely you and I have become acquainted, as of late. I'm really digging this relationship, literally. Digging your deals and steals, your quirks, secrets and injustices. I'm glad I found Yesterday's Best. Just thinking of your aisles makes me reminiscent...This awesome find, on the north end of the intersection of Menaul and Washington, is on the higher end of thrifty treasures. I was confronted with a notice at the door that the place was "temporarily" cash only, due to an EBT issue. I saw the same note when I arrived two weeks later. Look, most locally owned businesses are all too aware of the scandalous credit industry, and many simply don't do plastic, don't blame 'em. I'm guessing these guys are pissed at the industry, to boot. Anyway, even if you're not carrying greenbacks, walk on in. It's worth more than a gander.Virtually everything is priced on the higher end of thrift, but a quick chat with the owners will reveal that this is more of a pristine yard sale. They're open to hear your best offer. The furniture is high quality, generally good to great condition, with plenty of so-called antique offerings (tables, hutches, etc.). Great used kids clothes and stuffed animal selection, beautiful housewares, unique home office items, solid kitchen stuff. The place has been around for a while, I'm surprised I'm the first to Yelp it, but hey, here's to Yesterday's Best being around tomorrow.

This shop seems to be walking the line between antique shop and thrift store. By this, I mean there were some really neat items in good condition... Unfortunately those items were marked in the thousands of dollars range. There were also reasonably priced items and even some good deals, but some of the items had extremely high prices. The store had a small selection compared to other thrift stores on the same road, but it definitely was unique. If you like vintage pieces, this store might be for you.Personally, I am more of a thrift store person than an antique store person, so I probably won't be back.
