The Salvation Army

For the longest time I was assuming that this Salvation Army thrift store no longer existed. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t hurt to check it out and report to whoever is interested in traveling all the way to the southwest boarder of the city for thrift-​shopping pleasure.
This is a working thrift store indeed. It isn’t a small one, but it’s as large and spacious as the one at the Near West Side. From my experience on how the south-​side SA family stores work, I remembered that they would run a half-​off sale one (1) of the color-​tags. I didn’t see the signage for the promo that was currently running, if there was any.
I didn’t bother asking since I didn’t spot anything I wanted to take home.
It isn’t very convenience to come over this direction frequently, but I won’t mind stopping by when I’m the area.
Parking is rather easy at the strip-​mall lot. If you care about utilizing public transportation, use #63W (eastbound terminal station at the Midway Airport) and get off at the 63^rd./Natchez stop.

This is my home thrift store so I am a bit biased. The store is large and is nearly halved with the guys, as usual, getting the short end of the stick by having the furniture and odds n ends on their side.
Lots of stuff that you would find at an estate sale like the super tacky dark green glass stuff and scratchy wool three piece suits.
Their t-​shirt collection really is not great but you can find quality buys if you sort through the mass-​gives (you know, the collection of like 80 polos or shirts that a ‘collector’ gives). Everything is sorted by type then color.
Decent selection of shoes, but that depends on who you ask. I found a pair of solid, god-​awful brown shoes for a party that I still wear today, much to the girlf’s dismay.
