text: This Salvation Army definitely has its fans. I've known people that would salivate at the idea of a Saturday afternoon spent digging through this store. You can, occasionally, find some good stuff here, but it takes a lot of digging and perseverance, and I find the price point to be way past my thrift flinch point, usually. \n\nThere are two levels. The lower level is furniture, housewares, linens, books, and toys. Basically, everything they carry besides clothing. The organization here on this level is..... well, \"organization\" is such a strong word. Let's just say that the sections are free spirits that are not limited by arbitrary\"categories\" for your ease. Most everything is pretty dirty. You can find ebay-worthy stuff sometimes, but I just don't ever feel like it's worth my time. \n\nUpstairs, you will find a cram-packed clothing section. Men's, Women's, Children's, purses, jackets, coats and shoes stuff each rack to the bursting point and then there are the wall displays -- \"selected items\" are hung on nails, all the way up to the ceiling. Yes, you have to ask for help to get stuff down. \n\nThere's a decent mix of old and newer stuff, but I rarely, rarely find things I want to buy. I think a lot of the merch is overpicked regularly by some savvy shoppers on the southside. I definitely feel like this location is supported by a captive population. \n\nOf the few items I have purchased here, many of them had mystery stains or holes I didn't notice before I bought them, sadly. This is the thrift store in PGH I am most likely to leave Completely Empty Handed (a special feat, one that I perform only rarely).
