Reminiscence Inc.

If you ever find yourself longing for the days when Frankie Said Relax, mousse was a hair product and not a desert and bands like Oingo Boingo and the Bangles rules the pop charts take a moment to flashback to the “Greed is Good” era and stroll on down to Reminiscence, a cheesy, kitschy but never boring vintage store.

In the front of Reminiscence shop, you’ll find fun trinkets such as whoopee cushions, magic eighth ball and Mad Libs. They also have silly putty, wind up toys, and those little foam things that you put in water and they grow in five minutes. There’s also a neat selection of jewelry and pendants in glass cases up front.

Head toward the middle of the shop and here’s where all the sartorial fun begins. Fluffy prom dresses, funky t-shirts with slogans, outfits with glitter and sparkles and giant shoulder pads to start with. Just be careful when walking around the clothing stands. They are packed tightly together. Toward the back are the dressing rooms and shoes. It’s kind of a mess but you can find great finds such as disposable $10 shoes.

When you’re browsing, don’t let the overpriced clothing discourage you though. If you scrounge around long enough you can score some real finds.
