Marty’s Second Hand Store

Go see Marty while he is still there. He’s been really ill. We will never see his like again.

I hesitated to categorize Marty’s Second Hand Store as «antiques» but since there was no category for old crap with the occasional vintage treasure, I had to do my best.
Marty is a man of few words and even fewer teeth. He and two to five of his cronies can be found in the main room of the store watching the closed circuit TVs which are all tuned to CNN and smoking cigarettes. They may seem kind of scary and the place is filthy and disorganized but really they are nice folks for the most part. For the brave, great houseware bargains are to be found – an awesome chrome and formica 50s table for $ 10. Fifties bakelite handled tea kettle for $ 1! Nothing has a price tag. You have to bring it to Marty or describe it to him and he tells you how much, usually about a third of what you were willing to cough up for it. The main catch, besides the dodgy neighborhood and dodgy characters that hang out around here (you will probably be panhandled at some point coming or going from the store), is that Marty operates on a cash only basis.
If you have an 8-​track player get yo’self in to Marty’s. He’s got the best selection I’ve seen in town.
I would suggest coming with a friend or two and making a day of it also catching Ax Man down the road.
