Somehow I managed to spend most of the weekend in various thrift stores and Asian grocery stores. This is The Bins above, which has kinda sucked the last two times I’ve been there. Katherine and I argued about $1.25 a pound being a good price on clothing. The first time I went here, I didn’t have a big car to take anything home and the place was loaded with cheap furniture and all sorts of crazy stuff. This is where Jeremy’s organ was purchased (and they always seem to have one, bigger and better than the last time).
Remember when your parent’s credit cards looked like this?
This was the beginning of a crazy stretch of downtown that included a three story western wear store, which I went crazy over.
This was from the third floor of the western wear store. There were no clerks upstairs and I could just wander around and take pictures.
Pretty much the whole room was filled with saddles.
The second floor was more of a mezzanine of formal men’s wear.
This is what most bars look like in New Orleans, also part of the amazing mezzanine.
This was a strip club in Beaverton we saw on our way to a Japanese super grocery. I’d bet anything this was once a ‘Sambos’ restaurant.
The parking lot of a Lamplighter Inn.
Out near Oregon City, heading to the Red White and Blue thrift store, we got lured into checking out this old grocery store because it looked REALLY seventies from the road. It turned out to be pretty unspecial, but all of the signs in the windows were made with copious amounts of glitter.
