Remember Value Village on 4th Ave? Ahh… take a stroll down memory lane with me…

The method-to-the-madness t-shirt racks… the tangled wall of purses… the never-ending stretch of kitchen tools along the north wall… the precariously perched coffee makers… the eternally morphing furniture pit…

Who didn’t spend half of the ’90s there?

I think we all shed a metaphorical tear when Goodwill took over residence at the corner of 4th & 8th.

But no worries — the Village has simply relocated!

Now on Stone Ave. just south of Glenn, the new Value Village is bright, clean, well-organized… and still somehow has that Value Village je-ne-c’est-quoi. Truly. It feels just the same.

Funky, fabulous, secondhand. Quintessentially Tucson.

Whew

You say you want a revolution? We all wanna cup of joe…

Revolutionary Grounds is part coffee shop, part bookstore.

But not in a corporate, best-seller & a latte kind of way. More in a leftist ideology way.

Which is fine with me, as long as the dogma is accompanied by tasty treats and excellent espresso. Which it is.

We stopped by for a quick hug & hi with a visiting out-of-town friend, and ended up staying for nearly half an hour, chatting with the staff & browsing the shelves — which included tons of educational toys. (We picked up a cool wooden toy set at a totally fair price.)

The service was friendly, and pretty fast. You know… for proletariat wage slaves.

Revolutionary Grounds supports fair trade, provides vegan options & promotes local art/music.

And not once did they try to brainwash us into overthrowing the capitalist state.

On the down side, their outdoor seating could definitely use more shade.
