The Wilton Collective was previously located across from The Manor but they have relocated into the old Holy Mackerel location in Island City Plaza on 26th St. The large space has an interesting selection of art, jewelry, accessories, clothes, figurines, home goods, and vintage and antique pieces. There is also an event and meeting space that can be rented. They have a Mix & Mingle event at their bar every Friday from 6:30-8PM. I loved the Florida prints, especially the alligators and mermaids and they had my beloved vintage Pyrex dishes. Items ranged from a few dollars to hundreds. The prices I did check seemed reasonable to me. They have such an eclectic mix of beautiful things. I really enjoyed exploring this store.

Goodwill was founded in 1902 by Boston Minister, Reverend Edgar J. Helms. He took donations from…read morewealthy Bostonians and hired people who were poor and who could fix the items. The items were then given to the people who worked on them or were resold. Goodwill's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out." Goodwill Industries of Central Florida started in 1959. Today Goodwill has become a $5 billion nonprofit organization that provides job training, employment, and community programs for people who have disabilities that might prevent them from getting a job on their own. This Goodwill Superstore is located on Oakland Park Boulevard. While still selling bargain thrift, the superstores have innovative and trendy displays. They also have more contemporary designs and modern display fixtures designed to raise the bar in the thrift market. The Oakland Park Goodwill store is attractively arranged. Clothes and new items are in the front of the store. As you move towards the back of the store there is furniture and home goods. A smaller area in the back is a bibliophiles paradise with a large selection of books. Thrifting is enjoying a resurgence as a cool hobby. There are a ton of Instagram videos showing how you can have a business thrifting or how to style and transform thrifted items. A can of spray paint can give just about any item new life. I really love thrifting at this large, clean, and well organized Goodwill. I have been coming here for years and it keeps getting better and better. Goodwill has even added new items to complete their thrift inventory. Right now they have a ton of holiday decor and clothing. If you need an inexpensive ugly sweater for a holiday party, there is a great selection here. Not only can you find a unique bargain but you are repurposing items and keeping them out of the landfill while helping the community through your purchase at the same time.

I was in the area and decided to drive around and check out Oakland Park. Stopped by the Goodwill…read moreto see what book treasures they had. Let me tell you, what a freaking nice Goodwill this is! I was pleasantly surprised with the massive book section all the way in the back on the right side. They had about six racks of books and several books scattered on the table in the middle. I was literally in heaven. Everything was so nicely organized, and there was an abundance of books that I wanted. This store had so many good selections, I really couldn't believe my luck! I started off by just browsing. When my stack became way too high to carry, I went and grabbed a shopping cart. When I went to the front to get the cart, I stopped and asked the cashier about the pricing for the books. I noticed all the books has stickers, but most had letters or specific numbers on them. The cashier, Brian, clarified that handbooks $2, paperbacks $1 and cookbooks $3. There maybe some books priced differently and those are noted with specific numbers which indicate the pricing. Now I got it. Went back and scanned every single book to make sure I grabbed the ones I wanted. It got to the point where I had no joke, about 20 books. Lol. I had to downsize. Although I continue to build my personal home library, I didn't need all these books. I was good and looked everything over again. I ended up with 9 books I was content with. Went to check out and Brian rang me up. My book haul cost me a measly $18!!! Such a great score! All in all, this Goodwill in Oakland Park is super nice and incredibly organized. Not just the books but EVERYTHING!!! Great job on the upkeep of this store Goodwill. I hope to be back soon to see what new books they have.

Staff is friendly, dressing rooms are nice, selection is good. The only suggestion I have is to PLEASE get a new soundtrack or update whatever you're using for a music feed. Every time I go in, the song "Anxiety" is playing so loud and I always hear it more than once per visit. I don't know how the employees haven't gone insane already. I mentioned to my friend how the music in there makes me feel anxious and she immediately said, "Omg the anxiety song!" Everybody is sick of that song. Please get some new music!

The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Chamber of Commerce promotes and supports the local business community…read more This is a nonprofit organization that plays a crucial role in fostering economic growth and development with business advocacy, networking opportunities, community development, and promotion of the local economy. The Chamber of Commerce provides information and resources to those living in the community and to visitors. One of their most important jobs is tourism promotion. The Chamber of Commerce serves as the catalyst for economic prosperity by contributing to the well-being of both the business community and the broader local community. They help visitors to the town discover the meaning of the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea slogan "Relax, you're here." The Chamber of Commerce is located in a quaint historic building along Ocean Boulevard. They can point you to the best places to stay, shop and dine in the "Shore Dive Capital" of Florida. Popular past times include walking the pier, fishing, and relaxing in an Adirondack chairs around town. The Chamber of Commerce has a number of brochures, maps, flyers, and coupons to the different businesses in town as well as magazines and local papers like The Pelican. On the day I visited the ladies working were very friendly and eager to assist. Even as a local I learned something new. There is an upcoming event, the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Garden Club Fundraiser that I am interested in attending and a Farmer's Market held in El Prado Park. Unfortunately the Chamber of Commerce is only open during the week or I would probably stop by more often.

It's located on A1A, maybe about 3 or 4 blocks from the main intersection of Commercial and A1A. Not a far walk or drive from the many restaurants, bars and hotels in the area. The place is not too big, but they do have lots of information on things to do in LBTS as well as people to help if you have any questions. The center also have many coupons for restaurants and attractions in the area. Why visit this town???? If there was ever a Norman Rockwell-style painting done of a South Florida beach town, it would look like Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. This cozy little village exudes retro Florida charm with its low-rise buildings and mid-century style architecture. Not only is the 2.5 mile beach beautiful and unspoiled, but you can snorkel or dive right from shore. Recognized as "South Florida's Beach Diving Capital," the near-shore reefs are just 100 yards off the coastline. In fact, the 1900 SS Copenhagen steamship shipwreck is now the most-visited Underwater Archaeological Preserve in Florida, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The downtown Beach Pavilion and plazas are right alongside the beach and stretch for several blocks west, past State Road A1A. It's a haven for people-watching and socializing. Hotels, shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors and live entertainment are all within breezy walking distance. You can rent a bike or hop on the free "around Town" Pelican Hopper bus. All this information for all these attractions and more can be found here at the Chamber of Commerce Visitor center.
