I wish the shoes were in one spot and organized by size, but I recognize they're using the space they have. The clothes are very well organized and there was someone reorganizing and adding new items while I was there. Goodwill has weekly sales of specific tagged items, so keep an eye out and sign up for their loyalty program.

I was in the mood to go thrifting recently and asked a few of my friends what areas would be good…read moreto get some steals. I was told this area would fit the bill. So after looking around and finding a spot, I headed out. Made my way here and the area was still reeling from the storm that rolled through. The parking lot was a mess and even though they had just opened, they were jammed. I found one of the remaining parking spots near the store and made my way inside. I was expecting a rather expansive area on the inside only to find out that it is much smaller. Not usually a problem, but when it came to browsing, it made for a much more bothersome experience. I would spot an item, want to take a look at it and then promptly be pushed out of the way with another customer with a cart. I was beginning to get frustrated when I decided that I would give it another go. I came here to find an item to put my remotes in and kept going through the housewares section. I had in mind what I wanted, couldn't quite find it. When I did, you could tell it was cheaply made with the Goodwill mark up. I was about to give up when I spotted the endcaps filled with random items. I saw one particular piece and decided this would fit the bill until something else might come along. I quickly went through the clothing but when it comes to clothing for men, this place is severely lacking. Compared to the women's section, it is about quarter the size. Checking out was fast. I paid for my purchase and was back outside.

I was lucky enough to find Orion's Attic on ChaGPT. Chris went above and beyond my expectations…read more An elderly relative of mine with health issues lives alone and when I went to visit, I was devastated to see how cluttered and disorganized his home was. No one should live like that. Chris and his crew stepped in and cleared out all rooms, taking many items for donation and other items to be trashed. They cleared out his kitchen which had so many canned/boxed food items that were expired. Chris even moved items so they weren't a tripping hazard, he pointed out fire hazards too. He did all of this with compassion and understanding, even recommending a company to help with ongoing cleaning/care to avoid my relative's place returning to its unlivable state. He even provided tax documents for donated items. I live out of state and couldn't be there, and Chris communicated with me throughout the process, sending me videos as he progressed. I even got quotes from competitors who weren't as compassionate or affordable. I highly recommend Orion's Attic!! Chris is amazing!!

I'm a big fan of the Unique Thrift Stores and this one is pretty good! It's really big so if you…read morecome in you need a plan. Know what you're looking for or it will quickly get overwhelming! Some location specifics- the parking lot is kind of chaotic here, so be prepared to bring your patience when you park. There are no changing rooms and the bathrooms were a mess when I visited. Some Unique Thrift specifics- pick which day to go carefully. They have 25% off deals on Mondays and Thursdays, so those days are pretty busy. The weekends of course are busy too. If you're shopping for clothes, I recommend wearing something close fitting so you can try clothes on over your normal clothes.

I would not go there if your intention is to help charity causes. If you want to shop for thrifts or drop your used goods, Salvation Army and Goodwill is the place to go, as 85% of the sale goes to good cause. I rated a 1 star as I am disappointed to know this, not to mention the place is always a mess and prices are crazy high.

Such a hidden gem! This is easily one of the coolest used bookstores I've found…read more The books are neatly organized despite the huge selection, and most are in pretty good condition, not falling apart or heavily stained like you sometimes find in used bookstores or receive from online thrift book sellers. My favorite part is the pricing. I usually buy paperbacks, which are often only $2-3, making it easy to pick up something new or outside my usual genres without worrying about the cost. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, which I really appreciate. I've visited both the Wheaton and Rockville locations, and while both are great, the Rockville store is much larger with even more books to browse. They also carry books in multiple languages, including Japanese, which was a pleasant surprise. Easy parking is another big plus. I'll definitely be back to hunt for more great reads!

They had an amazing curated selection of band books as well as a whole Harry Potter section and a lot of the latest best sellers. They also take donations, they don't buy books.

This is a feel good use bookstore because your purchase also helps fund the activities for children.

Chance came and took care of the problem and assured me that the nest of "yellow jackets" who somehow had made their way into the wall would be eliminated.

If the residual pest control chemical doesn't kill the newly hatched "yellow jackets" the second chemical treatment will be applied. Chance also said it was just "bad luck" that the yellow jackets got into the house.

I looked forward to being around people who enjoyed teaching English, and meeting students from all around the world. If I ever came across a family member or friend who needed English support, I would definitely send them here as well. From a volunteer perspective, the Center provides so much support and training for its teachers (who do not need to be professional teachers, so this helps), including a ready-made curriculum and textbooks. Though I've been an ESL tutor in the past, having this institutional support was important for me as I wanted to be well-prepared for my students. The teaching set-up also requires each class to be taught by two teachers, which is very helpful! The students come from all around the world and have many different reasons for being in the program. I loved laughing with them, learning from them (as well as my co-teachers!!), and even learning a few things about the English language myself.
