It had a classic department store-type storefront with finely-dressed mannequins in the display windows, often brandishing the latest in 1950s vacuum cleaner or toaster oven technology (keep in mind that this was the late 1970s). ![]() ![]() This was sort of a "flagship" Goodwill that was in the downtown historic district. Vincent de Paul thrift store that makes Goodwill look like Neiman Marcus. Now, this wasn't one of those Goodwills that are in depressing low-rent strip malls, right between the Dominican hair/nail/tanning salon and the St. During the summer my dad and I made a trip to Goodwill at least once every couple of weeks or so, not because we were poor or because my dad was cheap, but because my dad was an antique dealer and he knew the manager and could get first dibs on donations of antique furniture. I bought this book at Goodwill when I was around nine years old. ![]()
