    BEWARE THE PARKING LOT SCAM!

    BEWARE OF THE SCAM PARKING LOT. I was booted while shopping. I went directly into the store and directly back to my car. The attendant claimed he witnessed me walk past the store and tried to intimidate and harass me. If you're going to park there, I suggest recording yourself walking in and out of the store and checking in with employees who can vouch that you're there. Otherwise it's $170! I LOVE village discount, am a loyal customer, they're my favorite thrift stores in the whole city and I visit one at least once each week. But I am now reconsidering my support. The corporate number said they have nothing to do with the parking company and would not help me. The manager was sympathetic but just directed me to the corporate number. It took calling the police, the alderman, the main parking lot number Michael, and getting another store shopper to come out and vouch for me to get him to take it off. She said the same thing happened to her! He's a creepy preying on women. I've heard the recordings over and over "our contract with global parking does not allow customers to visit any other establishment..." I respect y'all and I would never do that. But Global Parking Management will lie and say you did. Also attaching the city complaint form for booting if you need it!

    A decent resale shop with a large selection of most items. Cleaner than most resale shops and a friendly staff. Not hard to find items as they are arranged very well and isles are labeled clearly and neatly lined on the racks. The prices are reasonable as you can get and you can surely discover a few hidden gems here if you put the work in. One big notice here is that the staff is constantly hustling around the store. You will see them cleaning and rearranging racks constantly unlike my at resale shops. Kudos to the staff.

    Village Discount Outlet had the Super Bowl weekend sale on Saturday (01/31/2015) and Sunday (02/01/2015). All merchandize was half off the price tag. Hey, I'm in! As many of you know, thrift shopping on an extra discount day can be adventurous and requires lots of patience. Thanks to my mommy who gave me a great temperament so that I can survive in thrift shopping. This location is the first one that I encountered has the "guard" on both entrance and exit, meaning that an entrance is really the entrance; an exit is really the exit. Those doors aren't interchangeable. Their private parking lot is strictly for patrons-only; don't follow the rule, should your vehicle be booted and towed immediately. This location gets lots of young blood since the Lakeview neighborhood is adjacent to the Roscoe Village neighborhood. It was cool to see some young men and young ladies came out to enjoy themselves with experiencing fashion in different eras. Shopping at any Village Discount Outlet requires a keen eye. How keen? I would say freakin' keen because they organize their apparel by colors. However, the color-coordinating organizations tend be destroyed quickly by careless customers who didn't put back their unwanted merchandize back to where it belongs. I don't literally go through "every" piece of apparel myself, but I can spot some possibilities within seconds after seeing them. I'm professional, so what can I say? As I have mentioned before on my other reviews on other Village a Discount Outlet locations, their selections on blazers are pretty decent. However, this location really has one of the worst smells, especially on their basement where shoes, housewares, and electronic gadgets are. I went downstairs and didn't really stay too long. I might need to bring my own oxygen mask to shop downstairs, seriously. I didn't see much $0.10 merchandize left. We came in late afternoon, so the majority should have been bought during the day. Other than the smell, this locations seems to get a lot of traffic and aisles are narrow. I still scored a Cubs beanie for $2 and hubby snatched a cable for his video game monitor for $0.49! It's a passable location, as long as you're ok with the smell.

    Got a work outfit for less than $4.00... and the skirt was only 98 cents!!

Also, I would like to thank all of the people that have come out to support businesses in this area that were hit hard by the current political climate in Washington D.C. At the height of violence in our streets I tried to do my best by supporting some of these businesses. During this phase 18th street looked like a ghost town on a Saturday. Normally on a Saturday in this neighborhood has people teeming everywhere and the smell of an asado in the air (Yum). Having time off and having an asado is the perfect way to relax and spend time with your family. Plus, who doesn't like the smell of an asado? Well during this time period I found this shop that I thought had some really cool and unique stuff. Also, you may notice that they have a fair amount of stuff with the famous Hulu's The Bear line, "Yes Chef, No Chef" on it. If you are a fan of the show like I am, then, the interior will look familiar to you because it was in a seen on the show (I think it was season 3). I immediately recognized the store and thought to myself "cool" and great choice. Anyhow, if you find yourself in the area, pop in and check it out. They are very selective as to which artists around the country they want to buy from and in turn sell their products. Maybe you will find that one unique thing that you have been looking for that you didn't realize you need. I mean, you never know unless you check it out. My fellow Chicagoans, please go out and support your local small shops!

My mom and I could've spent the whole day there, the staff was welcoming and the store offered the most cutest items that were reasonably priced. The selection of things was great, from bookmarks, clothes, to mugs anything and everything you'd want for a souvenir.
