Vintage clothing, records, books & more!
Sometimes unfound treasures beckon, and Adam and I turn into antique store rats — you know, like mall rats but not. We recently had one of those days: indulging in Anodyne Coffee, then hitting up nearby antique shops. This time we branched out from our usual haunts in favor of Walker's Point Antique Center and Dime a Dance.
These shops are hidden in plain sight as you head south on 1st Street. The building is rather nondescript and signage is poor, but there are worthwhile finds waiting inside. The building's lower level is all books, records, and VHS tapes. Between my love of John Barry soundtracks and The Moody Blues, I came away with some sweet tunes.
Upstairs, you'll find Dime a Dance. The place has your typical antique store finds, but what sets it apart is its solid selection of vintage clothing. There's lots to ogle (coats fit for Doris Day) and some that's good for a laugh (giant bib ruffles on velvet potato sack dresses). Either way, if you're into the vintage clothing scene, Dime a Dance is definitely worth a stop. I even walked away with a dress for this year's Halloween costume — treasure found!
