You have the same Value Village, a second hand store?

We have one really close to my house and they take all sorts of stuff. When you have nothing, or have been burned out, or whatever, they have “stuff”. And it is GREAT for kid clothes and winter boots and pants and gloves and hats for relatives visiting from so California. d:o)

Right now I’m trying to find someone to take a twin bed. No luck so far...

Yes—it is a fairly big chain up here (or rather to your East). Since I’ve been married, I’d guess that I’ve been to between 20 and 40 in Ontario, and they are throughout Canada—I’d guess between 150 and 300 stores in Canada. I think they are probably the leading 2nd hand chain here, beating out Good Will and the Salvation Army. I had no idea that thye had gone south/west of the border, or perhaps the name has been lifted?

Good luck on the twin bed.

In the middle decades of the twentieth century, the Pico Palace in Pico Rivera, Calif. was an auditorium where concerts, conferences and sporting events were held. However, by the 1980’s, it had become a junk shop called Value Village. We called it Valueless Village, even though we would occasionally find something valuable there. The building was eventually razed.
