Olive the Above

This little shop is an interesting mix of thrift store, discount shop and convenience store all rolled into one, and its owner is in his words «low tech» so no plastic of any kind — this is a cash only business.
We actually had to leave and go find an ATM in order to complete our transaction, no big deal because we really find some great scores in this shop. But I can see where this might turn some folks off and make then not return.
They carry a large selection of local Armstrong Olives, along with various other local purveyors. There is a nice section of second hand clothing, and tie dyes hanging everywhere. Also a small but extensive area for dollar books, paperbacks and hardcovers both are $ 1, I picked up a french impressionism catalog Hardcover with a $ 125 price on it for a buck. Not a bad deal.
Lots of little knick knacks, antiques and collectibles are mixed throughout this shop as well as various convenience store items like drinks and snacks, ice and eggs, that sort of thing.
The owner is an interesting guy and enjoyable to talk with, worth a stop and look around and you may even find something that you didn’t know you needed.
3 Stars.
