Goodwill [Dyer IN]

Goodwill, Bloomingdale

Don’t know how this place slipped through the cracks – never checked it out.  Made my way over on a quiet weekend and enjoyed the dig.

J&S Antiques, Manlius IL

Had my eye on this for a couple years, it is right at the Interstate 80 interchange but never had time to stop.  Made time on this journey and it was worth it as we found a bunch of crates of 7″ right inside the front door.  I did not buy anything at all for […]
