Imagine you're putting on a fair, and while attendees from all over the world and campuses attend,…read morethe stars are local gifts given a new life to be sold or resold here, at the Fisher Home Hospice Shop. That is the Fisher Home Hospice Shop: a marvelous showroom of timeless artifacts, clothes, books, games, and necessities that you might overlook or fail to live without. Let me give you a nice laundry list of my purchase of a tidy litany of needs, all for under a hundred dollars: Relevant literature/books for me, my new favorite clutch purse bag, snow gloves, two phone holders for vehicles, fine clothing for me and my family, household staples like notepads or three ring binder punches, and for sure my list could go on. Let's stop saying that the money you pay for these is too much or too little and instead look to what your purchase does: it funds the Fisher Hospice Home. This isn't your typical 'store,' and would be more fair to call it a non-profit venture. Volunteers maintain the store floor, swap out goods seasonally, review donations, and they all work as volunteers, for gratuity alone. The love they spend on what visitors might like is obvious, from their childrens' toy section, to their miniature library, to the household goods section. The space is maintained, full of light, and is accessible. What might challenge you is that what you find here is going to be more personal to you, instead of some wide class you happen to be a part of. That is what happens when you merchandise in timeless necessities--you would just as likely find a selfie stick here as you might find typewriter paper. What you leave with is actually liberating: there's no tracker of your behavior as a consumer, there's no brand loyalty that you're analyzed for, you're just a local shopper. Perhaps that's why the Fisher Home Hospice Shop feels like any internationally savvy visitor would visit, because what strikes you might be as surprising as any other bargain reseller, like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Here, it's local, it's for a cause, and it's open to the public. A former friend recommended I visit the Fisher Home Hospice Shop, and I now regret I thought their advice meant I would only visit once! :)

It is so very sad that donations are being taken from the door and put into an employee's car and not even making it in the door. Where I come from it is called stealing. So very disappointed in this Goodwill.

The beauty of Western Mass is summed up in the view of the Connecticut River from the bridge, especially during foliage season. But I digress, back to the Freight House, my favored stop on my tours. It's a worn place, antiques lining its broad porch and spilling over into the neighboring area with cement and stone yard ornaments. Don't be deterred! Inside you'll find rooms stuffed with antique brick-a-brac, but make your way to a stool at the food counter. Service is prompt and personable - well, of course, there's only a handful of stools. The prices are fair, and I love this unassuming oasis and the folks that work here, so I tip generously. I've sampled most of the menu items, and always been satisfied. But the hidden gems are the homemade pies. I love a good pie, and most pies don't measure up. I look for a great crust, flakey on top and bottom. Then I want a good filling, full of authentic flavor, not cloyingly sweet, or runny, or gelatinous. Tough to find? Yup! Found it here, at Freight House, every time. Great pie (and food), a cup of coffee, and I'm off to the French King bridge, the Quabbin, and the open road.

What an utter waste of time. I was making my way back from Northwest Vermont towards Boston, and a…read morefriend mentioned there was a good antique place in this town, but couldn't recall the name. This is what popped up via search engine, and I cannot believe this could be the place my friend intended. The setting looked so cool, in photos and as I pulled up. I'd driven an hour to get there, and was dying to hit the restroom before looking around, and there were all kinds of unwelcoming signs everywhere. "Bathroom for customers only," well considering this is in BFE, I can't imagine tons of randos are just stumbling through the door. There was a small cafe attached, and that seemed to be the only part doing any business. And after a quick wander around the shop, that made total sense, because the prices on the antiques and other items were absolute insanity. A small jar of used golf tees: $18. Little saucers I find at my local goodwill for 99 cents, around $20. Tiny jars of nothing-special buttons: $24. The vibe was decidedly crotchety-old-should-not-run-a-business. I get businesses dealing with public can be not fun, but the tone of the whole place was just "get off my lawn." No thanks! Friends, spend your time and money elsewhere. These people should retire.
