Let me start by saying what I wish I knew years ago. THIS IS A GOODWILL STORE!…read more Retrospect is owned by Goodwill. They pull all the vintage items out of their donations and send them here to be up-charged to high heaven even though they acquired all the items for free! Ever wonder why you can't find affordable nice vintage pieces while at Goodwill anymore? It is because they were all sent here! They used to hide the fact that they were a Goodwill store super well, but recently I noticed that their POS system had the Goodwill logo, and when I asked the staff member about it she confirmed exactly what I'm saying. There are many other vintage stores that are curated and sourced all over the city. Support those small businesses who invest in their craft over Goodwill, a large corp that gets all its inventory for free.

I am sure there are people who would love it, but it would just take up too much space in my studio apartment ;) I had spotted the store whilst visiting Woodrow's sandwich restaurant across the street, last month, but didn't have the money to venture inside. It was at the top of my list of places to check out this trip. I promised that I would buy just one thing, because if I didn't stick to my guns, I would have spent hundreds of dollars. It was so difficult to choose. I made three laps around the store before I discovered "Dancing Shiva." " This cosmic dance of Shiva is called 'Anandatandava,' meaning the Dance of Bliss, and symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, as well as the daily rhythm of birth and death. The dance is a pictorial allegory of the five principle manifestations of eternal energy--creation, destruction, preservation, salvation, and illusion. According to Coomaraswamy, the dance of Shiva also represents his five activities: 'Shrishti' (creation, evolution); 'Sthiti' (preservation, support); 'Samhara' (destruction, evolution); 'Tirobhava' (illusion); and 'Anugraha' (release, emancipation, grace)." https://www.learnreligions.com/nataraj-the-dancing-shiva-1770458 Pretty cool, huh? I love learning about different religions and collecting icons. And this store is full of them. As well as lovely items of witchcraft, catholism, antique medicine, carnival glass, goth culture, skulls, tarot, and pretty much anything spooky. The vibe is great and the stock is so unique that I'm sure it'll be full of all kinds of new items to discover the next time I visit. Would recommend!

From the uncanny mannequin of…read morethe little girl displayed on the sidewalk outside to the seasonal displays carefully curated in the windows to the narrow aisles packed with, well, everything, this is a second-hand treasure seekers must-check-out shop. You will want to take your time perusing the shelves of glassware, jewelry, knick-knacks, cigar boxes, dolls, books, trinket boxes, DVDs, & CDs, & ephemera of all kinds. For the art students looking for found objects for shadow boxes & mixed-media pieces, there's a lot to comb through here. If you are looking specifically for used classical & Broadway musical CDs, this is a good resource for that kind of music. I donated 8 wooden cigar boxes to Circa, & Michael, the owner let me have a catalogue on the surrealist Yves Tanguy as a trade. Much appreciated! He's cool to chat with. His shop is a labor of love & collecting. Check it out. I asked permission from Michael if I could take a picture of the mannequin girl. Voila.

This is a stunning collection of various pieces of American history and certainly worth a visit…read more The collection certainly gets 5 stars, as every piece is immaculate and the books are in pristine collection. Certainly worth stopping. I do hope the management can learn customer service. I entered because the shop looked charming and I wanted to buy unique gifts for family this Christmas. I have been to shops like this before with "no photos" signs, which I follow. This shop had no signs. No one said hello when I came in, someone went to take a dog for a walk. No problem. I was taking a few photos to decide what gifts to get, texting other family members to decide what to get. There were no humans in the photos, and nothing was art. At one point the man behind the counter said "you should really ask before you take pictures." I apologized and asked if I should delete them. He said no then went on to tell me that at my age I should know how to be polite. I apologized again and told him that some oddity shops like photos used on social media and there was no sign. He then went on to tell me I should know better, which resulted in him telling me that I can't take criticism. It was a bizarre interaction. He told me to leave, which is his right. So I left without buying anything. It was an odd interaction and I hope that they put up a sign if photos are something they do not want taken. I hope that the 5 stars is "polite" enough for them.
