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 :)
