Marlene’s Touch of Class

Oh, my! I don’t normally buy clothing when out thrifting, and today was no exception. My husband, however, walked away with 3 sports coats in practically perfect condition (the lining was torn in one coat) for $ 7!!! The clothing here is arranged by gender, type and then color, which made the search much more appealing, not to mention easy.
I usually buy «stuff» at thrift stores and find alternative uses for it, but there wasn’t much to be found at this store, mostly books and stuffed animals, and the book selection was not very big.
Marlene’s is well stocked and clean and is situated next to a mattress store. The stores are connected by a rather large doorway and the day we were there, mattresses were getting moved into Marlene’s stockroom. I don’t know if Marlene’s is expanding into the other space, or if Marlene’s owns the mattress store… it was a little weird and we didn’t ask, but the mattress store had it’s own sign, so who knows?
The staff was friendly and helpful, as needed. There is no parking lot, that we could see, so you would have to park on 13^th street, which, on this stretch is a little tricky due to the amount of traffic. The prices here definitely make it worth the trip!
