Well, not exactly; I thought I would go to thrift stores looking for some dress clothing since a lot of mine is getting worn and broken (and bound, soon, for a thrift store). My path took me to the Salvation Army Super Store on Campbell; the Thunder Thrift store benefiting the high school which is almost across the street from the Salvation Army Super Store; and Red Racks on Battlefield which is almost just across the street from Relics.
