Urban Renewal

Excellent customer service. As a local who enjoys vintage finds, having a place with a constantly changing selection makes it fun to visit often.
The girl that works there, Liz, is helpful and knowledgeable. She doesn’t hover like some places making it relaxing to wander and look at all the wares.

Amazing finds at such great prices! Great customer service. Unique one of a kind pieces. Hidden treasure. I wish everyone would know how great this little place is.
Update…
I recently went in and found an amazing trunk that I had to have. I bought it but when I went to put it in my car, it wouldn’t fit. Liz, was so kind to offer to deliver it for me that same day free of charge! Talk about GREAT customer service.
I will always be shopping here first before any other store for unique and vintage pieces.
Thanks Liz!

Super cool antique/​vintage shop. If only my suitcase was bigger for all the priceless finds. Very reasonable prices. Great place to find cute vintage and good quality toys.

Pretty cool little shop with a large variety of antique Nick nacks and furniture. They have a large array of old backing supplies, cool old phones, cameras, frames, other old tools and miscellaneous. I spent a long time in there just looking at every little thing lol. I can’t wait to go back in here to buy some cute little things for my apartment.

Place is CLOSED TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS. It doesn’t say that on here but FYI. Love this cute shop that has well-​priced vintage everything (except clothes…)

Just discovered this vintage shop off the main drag in North Park. Cute! Cute! Cute! Words that come to mind after my first impression:
*kitsch
*shabby chic
*campy
*kinck kanacks.
It is so much more than that. I am not sure how to encapsulate the place. I found bowls, vintage greeting cards, bottles, board games, and so much more. If you like the thrill of the hunt, decent prices, and a vintage flare, check this place out.
When I was there, I had a very nice chat with the owner Michael and the store manager Alex. Nice guys who love their work. I’ll be back.

We are going vintage for our wedding and came here for flower vases. We found four different hand-​painted ones that will look so cute on the tables! The store has a great selection of just about anything you may be looking for and we took the time to look at everything without feeling rushed!

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like Nicholas Cage at the end of National Treasure or Indiana Jones at El Dorado, here is your chance. Urban Renewal is a sort of kitschy shoals that draws you in with a Syren’s song, intoxicates you with ephemera from days gone by and sends you away with money in your pocket, wondering what the hell just happened. If you are not shopping here, you should hang your head in shame never to shop again.

Great selection. Super fair prices. It’s a great place for North Parker’s that lost out on shopping at Pat’s corner. This place has great small finds, everything from victorian chairs, vintage frames to dinner plates. Great condition and super clean!

This is the perfect place to shop if your are a girl on a budget with an affinity for really cute vintage furniture and knick knacks. I’ve been vintage hunting before and although I am not knowledgeable of all things vintage, my bf is and he would absolutely approve.
I would classify this shop as a combo of vintage and thrift. The shop is well decorated and well organized. I seriously wanted to walk out with EVERYTHING. I found an amazing mid-​century table (actually an AM/​FM radio) that I would totally repurpose for only $ 385! A reasonable price for a piece like this is anywhere upwards of $ 500 (a least from other vintage shops that I have been to).
Happy Hunting.

Too overpriced! Not a thrift store! $ 22 for USED Keds.

The owner (at least I think he was the owner) gave a friendly, «Hello» and a smile as I walked in, which was nice. The store is full of thoughtfully procured second hand items, stylishly displayed. It is a cute little store. You can tell that it means a lot to someone by the thoughtful arrangement of items of different styles and by the handmade, too high price tags. Thats right– I said «too high». I was looking for picture frames, but the two I liked were priced at $ 7.99 and $ 9.99! That’s eighteen bucks for a couple of used picture frames.
Go to UR if you’re looking for well-​selected, used goods, but go to Goodwill if you’re looking for Goodwill prices!

I stumbled across this spot and was so happy I did. They have such a variety of products they sell from home goods to jewelry. I ended up buying some art from a local artist. The owner was there while I was shopping and he was fantastic. If you haven’t check it out yet, you must.

Selection of used items are quite impressive. I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to buy any. It’s a mixed of retro and modern classic items. I just enjoy browsing in places like this.

Antique/​Vintage store goods with thrift store prices! What a gem! I walked in expecting to pay the going rate for items at vintage knick-​knack/​collector stores, but was pleasantly surprised about how affordable everything was. Cases in point– Sweet cat earrings: $ 3.00, Pee Wee Herman Ventroliquist doll: $ 20 (in my opinion, it’s absolutely priceless, so $ 20 sounded pretty good), neat glass bottle with dog decal: $ 6.00.
The store was chock-​full of knick-​knacks and cool collectables– no clothes to rummage through, so don’t go expecting to find typical/​more practical thrift store items like clothes, sporting goods, standard appliances etc.- This was more of a giant «Brick-​A-​Brack» store.
The owner was also friendly and down to earth. Scared to think about how much of my paycheck will probably be spent at this store (but hey, at these prices, I can probably re-​decorate my whole house without breaking the bank.) Would definitely recommend/​go back!

This place has a lot of great finds!!! Worth the drive to North Park!!!

This is a great find In North Park. This store has a little bit for everyone. Vintage, mid century modern, retro, shabby chic, reclaimed… you name it. From bowling pins, jewelry, furniture, household items, bar accessories etc. All items are VERY reasonably priced and without the thrift store, I gotta get home and wash my hands right NOW feeling. It is a small space, but the owner makes very good use of all of it. There were many items that I fell in love with, including the owner. He is warm, inviting and really enthusiastic about his items. He seems to really love his job, his store and his customers. Stop by and tell him Penni sent you!

Terrible selection. I read good reviews, and thought this would be a great place. Don’t waste your time. I’ve seen Goodwills that have a better selection of clothes.

I just found this place today and I love it. They have a lot of really cute great things. Also the way they have it set up makes it easy to look for and find treasures. I find that so many stores like this are usually a total clusterfuck which makes it hard to browse. The prices are good, the clerk is really friendly and non intrusive. They even gave me a discount card for my next purchase. I guess I’ll be going back for that cute vintage hat!

Michael Todd’s Urban Renewel shop is awesome. They have so many different things in there. I saw a set of handmade dainty knitted gloves from back in the old days that I want. I plan on coming back here again soon. The man who works here is extremely welcoming and friendly. They have furniture, accessories, gardening and more.
