The site apparently is selling mailing addresses to dubious sites that are either reselling them or otherwise misusing them. There is an obvious deterioration in this site presentation, information and topicality. Currently I learn more about current activities in the area from the posts sticked on the street places!! I regret that I ever joined this site and contributed to it more than 20 times, including with may photos. I was "rewarded" for my contributions with a daily avalanche of perverse sex seeking/offering mails, commercial scam offers from dubious sites and numerous unsolicitated calls. Some of those sites even admitted to me that their source of their personal information (including mine) comes from UES Patch!! So live and learn!!

For clothing, if you're on the slimmer side, you'll have plenty of choices, but for someone that's a little thicc like me, it was a bit tricky to find items that fit.

Super cute area and street that it is located.

Apparently that still isn't enough for the owner to let three customers browse without hovering over them. She looked us up and down, seemed to judge the consignment-store bags we were carrying, and kept insisting on taking them even after I said I was fine. When I declined again, she laughed and said she was "trying to be nice." It felt like we were being watched because she thought we might steal something, while also being pressured to buy something to prove we belonged there. Then she asked where we were from. When we said California, she replied, "Oh, that explains it." The contempt was hard to miss. If you're going to judge people for where they're from and what bags they walk in with, at least spare them the fake friendliness. The attitude in this store was uglier than anything on the racks. I wouldn't spend a dollar here.

I mean a store dedicated to Harry Potter -- come on?!? And what I found wasn't some corporate, merch-filled spot but something that seemed to have grown out of the love the owner has for all things HP. This small shop includes photos and facts about the cast, mixed in with a fun assortment of items. In particular, I liked the Letter from Hogwarts wallet and items related to each of the Hogwarts houses. (This girl is a proud Ravenclaw, in case you were wondering). I ended up buying my kids plastic pens that look like quills. The owner was talking enthusiastically to all who entered, and when I told him that it was my birthday, he said he had something extra special for me and gave me my own, gold laminated train ticket from London to Hogwarts. I was thoroughly charmed by The Fairy Shop, even without the use of spells. ;-) A must-visit for any Harry Potter fans.

I frequent the Covet on Charles St often & this was my first time visiting this one in Southie!…read more The layout makes the store seem much bigger than the one on Charles St/Beacon Hill but not sure if it's actually bigger. Clothes are well organized & in great condition! I love the selection that Cover offers; you can find anything from no name to expensive runway pieces! Other than consignment pieces, they also have cute sunglasses, hair clips, and trinkets. Will definitely be back again & highly recommend Covet to anyone looking for some unique pieces in great condition!

They had designer sunglasses, wallets, purses in the sealed display case. The lady was looking thru their clothing and they had a lot of nice pieces, out of our thrifting budget for the day but the items looked like they were still in good condition not too many blemish or stains that i saw. Their sneaker / shoe section has some loved pieces but you might find a steal depending on when you stop in and what stock comes in that week.

The vibe is here is really chill and this spot mainly sells tee shirts. When I visited, merch was…read moreorganized by color which I like! Prices for most of their items fit in the $15-$30 range. I thought the customer service was fine, helpful and nice, even. The only thing that perplexed me was the fact that a lot of the shirts in their femme section were altered into crop tops and I'm someone who would rather make that decision myself. Overall, the foot traffic was bumpin, it would be fun if Thrive hosted events in the space.

I read recently that the owner was racist towards someone who came in, but I don't know if that…read moreholds up. What I DO know is they're kinda rude in general. Everything is individually marked with prices. I saw that a piece wasn't marked, and I made them aware of it saying that they might want to add a price. I was trying to help them (someone could steal it since it didn't have a tag, they could claim it to be their own). I walk away and hear one guy say to the other "that kid was really obsessed with this not having a price on it." It doesn't sound so bad in writing but his inflection is noteworthy. Their clothing is overall way overpriced. Half of the stock is lame and the prices they write for them are absolutely whack. I don't know where they get these prices. I know it's on Newbury but c'mon my guy, get real. If you like vintage clothing, go to the Garment District in between Central and Kendall Square, or go to Boomerangs/Buffalo Exchange!
