Hitting up the local thrift shop was already cool in Atlanta, before Macklemore turned it into a platinum-selling song.

Strip City? More like Thrift City.

Get cash or store credit when you drop off your old threads. The racks are tightly packed, but that’s good news for you: You’re likely to uncover something to take home, whether it’s a new-to-you blouse or a new-favorite vintage dress.
