Ever hit them up ? My wife and I love to check them out and sometimes you can find some pretty cool things. Found this metal sign the other day and just had to buy it for only 2 bucks.

Unfortunately, where I'm from, thrift stores are now "Vintage Boutiques" which just means that prices have quadrupled.

Eagle Rock!
Damn you to Hell, DS.
I should have known there'd be trouble when I heard rumors of a hipster outbreak in Echo Park. Having lived in Silverlake before moving to Eagle Rock, we managed to stay one step ahead of used clothing boutiques, Mexican-Thai fusion eateries, and gourmet cupcake shops. But it was only a matter of time before the trustfundies discovered the 2 freeway and made their way north to my beloved Eagle Rock. The stretch of Colorado from Eagle Rock to Figueroa is a microcosm of everything bad about hipster gentrification - Guy Fieri-endorsed eateries, trendy fitness studios, overpriced pet supply stores - you name it. It's no surprise that E.R. is slowly becoming a place the long-time residents could not afford to live in, had they not bought in 20+ years ago.
And it's not over, boys and girls - Cypress, Elysian, and El Sereno are the current flash points. No brown person is safe. The Highland Park stronghold was breached some time ago, and is dealing with a three-pronged assault, with encroachment from Eagle Rock lumbersexuals, Downtown L.A. studio loft refugees, and the Occidentals spilling over like it was West-effing-Berlin.
Preach sister Quagga preach!
Hey hey, I moved to East LA after Oxy. (Couldn't afford Echo Park after that much student debt, I'm not a trust fund baby like the other alumni) Don't judge me by the geographic acquisitions the other Oxy'ites made.
I hear Highland Park is next. Even the Avenues are scared.
