Thrift and antique stores

Any recommendations for great thrift stores? I like to dig around and love the 60%26#39;s / 70%26#39;s eras. Thanks!

You%26#39;re in luck. There are tons of them in Louisville.

Unique Thrift Store - Near 22nd St exit of I-64 just west of downtown is probably the largest thrift store in the area. Before vintage resale caught on, it%26#39;s where we bought all of our jeans (for $2-$3).

Joe Ley Antiques - On East Market St. downtown is huge and probably the most well-known. I haven%26#39;t been there in years, but they used to put the prices of items in code which was a little annoying. Not sure if they still do that. There are also a number of shops %26amp; galleries near Joe Ley%26#39;s that you may also want to check out while you%26#39;re there. http://www.joeley.com/

The Louisville Antique Mall - On East Broadway is also massive and a 2 minute drive from Joe Ley%26#39;s. They also has a cafe on site.

About 3 blocks east of the Louisville Antique Mall, Broadway runs into Baxter Ave./Bardstown Rd. Just head south (i.e. turn right) and stick to the main road. Baxter turns into Bardstown Rd. %26amp; you%26#39;ll pass all sorts of unique little shops for the next 2-3 miles.

There%26#39;s also several vintage resale shops

within a 2-3 block area right by Lynn%26#39;s Paradise Cafe. http://www.lynnsparadisecafe.com/

I can%26#39;t remember all the shops, but The Nitty Gritty Vintage Shop is on the corner. You can really get your 60%26#39;s and 70%26#39;s on there.

The Deal is a few doors down. They seem to specialize in 1950%26#39;s and 60%26#39;s items.

The Goss Avenue Antique Mall is located in the Germantown area. (About 5-7 minutes drive from Lynn%26#39;s area) I haven%26#39;t been there in awhile. I noticed that there is new management. I%26#39;m assuming that the mall itself is still operating as usual.

Also, there%26#39;s a 3-4 block corridor along Frankfort Ave. that has a number of antique store %26amp; resale places. There%26#39;s definitely one or two that seem to specialize in 50%26#39;s - 70%26#39;s. They are in the 2000 block of Frankfort. Very close to Cafe Classico. Which would be a good launch point. I understand they have great panini%26#39;s and Belgian style fries. http://www.caffe-classico.com/

I%26#39;m sure I%26#39;m forgeting lots of places, but the list above could keep you busy for a couple of days. If you follow the order I%26#39;ve listed them above, you shouldn%26#39;t spend too much time in the car.

Best of luck. Hope you find something good.

After all that, I just realized that you didn%26#39;t ask about antique stores. Oops. I guess I got carried away. Definitely check out Unique Thrift and Nitty Gritty for your 60%26#39;s/70%26#39;s stuff.
