Good Stuff Thrift Shop (thrift store)
Chestnut branches off Clayton Ave, which is a much easier street to find on a map. Chestnut connects Clayton Ave to Farm Bureau Road. The store is in a small minimall on the right, as you're turning from Clayton on to Chestnut.)
"A charity thrift shop where I've found some *great* stuff over the past year. There's a "vintage corner" with reasonably priced clothes from the 50's and 60's (and a lot of hats, for some reason). The regular clothes selection is pretty good (found a pair of leather pants for $5, whoo!) and I've often mined the store for props and costumes for theatrical events, with great success.
If you sew, this place often has (working) vintage sewing machines for sale, too.
Store is open Tues - Fri, 10AM - 5PM and Saturday 10AM to 4PM. Last open day of the month, everything is half-off (except vintage clothing). First Wednesday of the month, jewelry is 10% off - and they've got some nice bits of tacky costume jewelry worth seeing. First Saturday of the every month, all clothing is $1 (except vintage)."

"Recycle Books is a large, open used book shop chock full of pretty much any book you could imagine. They even have a featured section which changes either daily or weekly, full of a really interesting, eclectic mix of literature. They also contain some collectibles. Recycle Books is conveniently located five to seven minutes away from the heart of downtown San Jose. The store is heaven on earth for any bookworm, and they even sell zines! (music, personal, fanzines mostly) The owners also have a a few cats, one of which is absolutely adorable cat, and is probably somewhere between 15-20lbs in weight.

Without argument, this is the best bookstore cafe in D.C. Every time I walk in, I immediately start adding to my "books I need to read NOW!" list, because of the amazing selection and great tips from the staff (who are super nice, and especially funky downstairs in the cafe). They have almost nightly visits from famous authors - from Ward Just to Jill Ker Conway to up-n-comers. Plus, the cafe is yummy and you can sit on the sofa or mismatched chairs and read your CityPaper (and pick up other people as cool as yourself) as long as you want to.

The only problem is that some nights they're open really late and some nights it's only until 6pm, and I have yet to figure out what they base their schedule around. Rumor has it that there's a free copier somewhere in the building, but I have yet to find it.

The Neo-Futrarium (theatre)
Although they periodically put on full-length plays, their signature show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is "30 plays in 60 minutes". It runs 50 weeks a year on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and is the longest-running play in Chicago (14 years). It costs $5 plus the roll of a 6-sided die (so, $6-$11). Once you're in, you're handed a nametag and a "menu" of plays to choose from, numbered 1-30. If you see one that sounds interesting, shout out the number when the time is right. They'll perform the first number they hear, and the process is repeated 29 more times or until the timer runs out, whichever happens first. If they have a sold out house, they order (really damn good) pizza for everyone ("when we sell out, we order out!"). The plays change periodically and are of personal nature and written by the cast. They range from angry to hilarious to visually poetic to deeply sad. They also vary in quality, but the show is definately worth seeing. Make sure to get there 15-30 min early to find parking spaces, and note that it's first come first serve and they tend to sell out Saturdays especially.

small fee to get in, but a whole lot of fun with a few nickels!"
Second opinion: It's on the same block as Paradox, the vegan-friendly, incredibly hip diner. What is it called? Oh--the Avalon. It's also a movie theater. The video games are a nickel, or sometimes two nickels, but you do have to pay a cover charge to get in, either a movie ticket or like two dollars. We also have the Retrocade, called Ground Kontrol, which isn't a nickel but features only classic Atari video games. The one that's left is on SW 12th a few blocks south of Burnside." -gillian

Women's Museum (museum)
part of the Smithsonian, the women's museum was put in Dallas so it would be equally difficult to visit from each coast. It just opened in 2000 and has a lot of room to grow, so the exhibits are very cool but there is a lot of unused space. There's a great comprehensive timeline, a listening booth for women reading their own poetry, a Great Women in Sports section as well as Women's Health and Women in Science sections. The third floor is reserved for traveling exhibits, Annie Leibowitz's Woman exhibit is coming next, right now it's a photographic exhibit of women athletes

Salt Lake City Public Library (library)
The library is building a collection of zines in its periodicals department.
The Salt Lake City Public Library is just so neat. Julie Thomas Bartel recently sent this in an email to the zinesters list:
"The director of my library has asked me to put together a bibliography of materials related to the aftermath of September 11th. She specifically asked me to look for radical viewpoints and alternate formats like lyrics, zines, comics etc., along with books, essays, articles, so, I turn to the zinesters list for suggestions. I have a good long list already, but I'm certain that you all will come up with a million things I'm missing. If you've produced anything yourself I'd like to include it, but I'm also interested in stuff you read, heard, seen outside the zine community as well.
"I'm not looking for material *about* the events of September 11th, but about what has happened since--things like freedom of information, privacy, responsibility, media, the government chipping away at our rights, etc. etc. Even things like the current debate about the pledge of allegiance, censorship, the first amendment, and the like. Basically, the list is to inform, warn, engage--you get the idea. I can give more info if anyone's interested. Oh, and though this project might be expanded later for discussion groups etc., the current bibliography should be geared more towards high school age kids.
"I'd really really appreciate any help you can give--this is a cool opportunity to introduce hundreds of people to important info.
"Thanks."

From my experiences and what I've heard about the place, the Village is only good for getting coffee and soda, and supposedly their cheese calzones. The french fries are pretty gross, and most food has a taste of cigarette smoke to them. I haven't been to the Village in a year or two though, so I don't know if things have changed.

Plan 9 Music (record store)
Plan 9 is a Virginia chain of record stores. They sell everything from mainstream pop to jazz and country and techno and hip-hop and indie rock. They buy your used music and movies when you're hard up for cash. They also sell new and used vinyl in the basement, along with used videos. Used CD's are sold on both floors. Collectible and kitschy toys are also sold. Their record selection is pretty good, but it sort of depends on your tastes and the band whose stuff you're looking for. There's been some stuff over these past couple of years that I haven't been able to find there, even stuff on Kill Rock Stars and Dischord. They also sell a few zines, but not a lot. You can find Punk Planet, MRR, Bitch, Rockrgrl there, along with the more mainstream magazines

Soundhole (record store)
I haven't been here in a year or two, but Soundhole primarily carries punk, hardcore, and indie music. They have a okay used CD section, to the point where I've walked out with 8 new or used cd's for about $20. They're slightly more expensive with some CD's. The main problem with Soundhole is that you have to drive there, it's not in the Fan district, it's in the West End of Richmond, which is 30 or so minutes away from the Fan district. And most of the time, it's not worth driving up there. I haven't gone in there really since they stopped selling zines a couple of years ago

The restaurant is open until 5am or so on Fridays and Saturdays, and serves mostly vegetarian food, I believe. This place used to be known as Twisters, which was the local punk club. This is where most of the popular or quasi-popular punk-hardcore-indie-emo bands play, along with some local bands. I think lately, they've mostly been doing hardcore shows. At least, that's all I've seen advertised.

Video Fan (video store)
Independent video store. They have a wide selection of movies on video, the Cult Movies section upstairs is great. They carry a lot of hard to find movies. The only bad thing about the store is that you can only rent movies for one night, but if you want them for more than one, they can charge you extra. So it's usually a good idea to just rent one movie unless you're spending the whole day or night watching movies. They also have a small, but developing DVD section, which is strange since most video stores are phasing out VHS for DVD

Byrd Theater (theatre)
It's the local second-run movie theater that's an architectural masterpiece. You can see movies at night for $1.99, 99 cents for a matinee. And sporadically, there's the midnight movie series. They've been holding them more frequently this year after restarting it last fall. Midnight movies are usually cult movies. If you go, get your tickets a few hours ahead of time, and know that sometimes the midnight movie doesn't start until 1am, so you may be waiting in line to get in for an hour. The only bad part is that the seats on the lower level are extremely uncomfortable, your bum can fall asleep within an hour, and the seats aren't very tall-people friendly. Occasionally for some midnight movies, they open the balcony, where the seats are better and more comfortable.

Asian District (Asian)
Fans of Asian culture/food/anime etc. don't miss the Asian district in Orlando, between the Fashion Square mall and downtown, on Mills/Colonial. You can get good, cheap eats all over the place in the Asian district. Little Saigon is very popular. Chicken and vegetables on rice is 5.50 at lunch or dinner and is very good. Summer rolls are yummy, too, 2.50$ for two. There are lots of other Asian restaurants in town, Thai House, Vinh's, Viet Garden, Anh Hong, the Korean one (unfortunately I can't remember the name of it)-I've heard good things about all of them and they're cheap. The best Asian grocer is Dong-A, they have a good selection of Pocky, Kasugai gummies and hard candies, gum, all kinds of sauces, ramen, weird fruits and vegetables-all kinds of stuff. If you like anime stuff there's Florida Oriental Trading, or "Debbie's" as locals call it. You can't miss it, there's an anime girl on the sign. Also in the Asian district is Venus and Mars, an alternative clothing boutique with piercings, Paul Frank stuff, lots of platform boots, etc., and some gay stores noticable by the rainbow decor.

Orlando, Florida
Thrift stores, book stores, and more: (stores)
One of the best runs of thrift/book stores in the Orlando area is on 17-92 running from the Longwood area heading towards Sanford. (Get a map, I can't explain it any better...) You'll start just before 17-92 meets up with 436. Remember, you're heading towards Sanford. Right around the Jai-Alai (I can't recall if it's before or after), there will be a used bookstore on the right in a mostly dead shopping center with a Russian restaurant (as of this writing, it hasn't been there long, so who knows how long it will last). Just past that, also on your right, in a strip center, is a thrift store called Rethreads, which closes fairly early. It's kind of expensive for the area, but worth a look. They have a lot of sewing stuff if you're into that. Keep going. On the right, not too far, there will be a Goodwill (closes at 8?). Local prices: skirts and shirts, 3.50$, dresses, 5$. (Rethreads is similar in price.) Again, keep going. There will be another small thrift on the right called Safehouse after you pass 434. It's in a strip center with a Sobik's, and believe it or not I've never been there, but give it a shot. Then, only a mile or two past THAT, on the left this time, is another thrift store, called Values Reborn (open 9-5?), although the sign from the street just says "thrift store" I think. It's in a shopping center with a biker bar and an Asian grocery. It's large and cheap-pretty much all clothes are between 1-3$, books are like 4 for 1$...plenty of everything in there. Keep going another mile or two, also on the left is another used bookstore called Legible Leftovers (closes at 5?). The sign on the store also says "Books, Bottles and the Cat's Meow." This store is particularly strong on fantasy books, although they've got it all, including live pettable cats wandering around. The last thrift store is farther away by a bit, but worth it. Keep going down 17-92, same direction, until you come to a Super Wal-Mart on the right. Can't miss it. Turn down the next street after the Wal-Mart and on your left, almost immediately, is a Habitat for Humanity thrift (closes at 5 or 6). This place is also cheap: I got two blouses, a dress, a board game, and a card there recently for $6. I have yet to find their records, however...perhaps there are none."

Atlanta, Georgia
There are "sections" of Atlanta
Some of them are totally different cities, but are still considered "a part of atlanta" for some really odd reason. There's Buckhead, which is mostly dance clubs and good, but expensive ($10-12 a plate) restaurants. Little 5 Points has an "alternative" scene. There are riot grrrls, punks, goths, zinesters, ravers, vegans, bikers, etc etc. Although superficially it looks a little exploited, if you dig deep enough youll find something amazing.
In Little Five Points: There's a wig store called Fifi Mahagonys (sp?), Hot Topic-esque stores (Throb, Junkman's Daughter), a WONDERFUL burger joint called the Vortex (although I've never eaten meat there, their veggie burger is to die for), a zine/record store called Criminal Records, feminist book store called Charis... Theres also a vintage clothing store named Stefan's, but Ive never seen anything I liked there. Or at the Hot Topic-esque stores. But thats just me. Little 5 Points is just, like, 3 small streets and is meant for walking around, so I dont really know any street names except Euclid and Moreland Ave.
And the third section is Decatur, which has neat crafty, overpriced stores and wonderful, wonderful restaurants. I LOVE their library and this coffee house named Java Monkey. I recommend the soy latte and my best friend loves the vanilla latte. The store's part indoors/part outdoors with a little roof covering half the outdoor part. Theres also a fireplace for cold nights. There is live music every day and wine tasting & massage on Thursdays.

I have a distro and a zine. They keep me busy.
I'd like to meet more people from the diy scene, especially those who live in my area (boston...cambridge...allston...)"

Lots of info from Amanda Cross:
"On the other side of downtown Minneapolis from the Minneapolis Community and Technical College zine library is a complex called Open Book. The main feature for zinesters is the Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Here they have all kinds of info, classes, a library, and exhibits related to paper making, binding, fonts, design, etc. Open Book also includes a respected independent bookstore (Ruminator), an independent publisher (Milkweed Editions), a literary center (The Loft), and of course, a coffee shop. The address is 1011 Washington Ave. S Minneapolis, MN 55415. Website is http://www.openbookmn.org
About a 10 minute bus ride from Open Book is the Textile Center of Minnesota. Here they have info, exhibits, classes and a library for arts such as knitting, weaving, basket making, sewing, costume making, quilting, lace making, beading, doll making, etc. This is also the place all of these crafts headquarter their guilds. Address is 3000 University Ave SE, Minneapolis MN 55414. Phone 612-436-0464 Website http://www.textilecentermn.org"
"The Walker Library is one of Mpls.'s public libraries and they are trying to start a zine collection to go along with their graphic novel collection. It's located in the heart of Uptown, a real "hip" area with lots of restaurants, clothing boutiques, a couple of independent movie theaters, at 2880 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis MN 55408. Phone (612) 630-6650. Website http://www.mplib.org/walker.asp. Visit here and drop off your zine to add to the collection. My mom works here so be sure to say hi to Moira!"
"Another library that would probably interest zinesters is the Quatrefoil Library in St. Paul. Here's the description from their website: "Quatrefoil Library exists to collect, preserve, and share materials and information relevant to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and other sexual minority communities. Collections include books, videos, and sound recordings, which members may check out. We also have a large collection of non-circulating periodicals." I can't remember if they have zines or not, but it's still a great place to check out and maybe add your zine to the collection. Address is 1619 Dayton Avenue, Suite 105 St. Paul, MN 55104. Phone 651.641.0969. Website http://www.quatrefoillibrary.org/"
"A great radio station to listen to while you're in the Twin Cities is KFAI, 90.3FM in Minneapolis, 106.7FM in St. Paul. It's a community radio station, with shows on every subject from motherhood, to persons with disabilities, to Ukrainian news, to a music show called "Crap from the Past." Website is http://www.kfai.org. The University of Minnesota's college radio station at 770AM (during daylight hours only) is also good. They use play lists but it includes way more than the average commercial station obviously. Website http://www.cce.umn.edu/radiok/"

The Zinester's Guide to Portland (guide)
Most printed guidebooks suck. Why not pick up one made by zinesters, for zinesters? The Zinester's Guide to Portland is a print guide that lists not only zine-specific stuff to do in the Rose City, but gives info on cheap, free, interesting, cool, and underground things to do in town. The current edition (2003-04) will be available through August 2004, and can be ordered by sending $4 in concealed US cash to : Zinester's Guide to Portland, P.O. Box 14185, Portland, OR 97293-0185. Or you can pick it up at one of the cool bookstores in Stumptown that sell it, like Reading Frenzy, In Other Words, Powells, Q is for Choir, and many more. The 2005 edition will be ready early next year. Go to our website at http://pdxguide.org where you can contribute a listing, and one day, yes one day, you will be able to access info through an online database.

"The clothes per pound are at what they call The Goodwill Bins. I'm not sure of that address though. It's kind of like the goodwill outlet. But you have to do some serious work to find good clothes in the piles of stuff in bins all over." -sarah falsefiction
Second opinion: "There's this place out near Reed College called The Bins. That's what everyone calls it anyway although really it's the Goodwill Outlet store. It's kind of a scary place in that everyone who works there wears breathing masks and rubber gloves...and I've found clothes with shit or puke on them more than once. But it's also really, really cheap. Clothes are like $1.49 a pound, which works out to be hardly anything for fabric scraps and blank t-shirts. We always went there to get shirts to silkscreen on. They also sold me my Dentist Barbie for like 29 cents. She talks. They have toys and books and BIKES (my bike was ten dollars there) and furniture and stuff too. It's always packed with ravening bargain hunters and there's this closed off section where they put in new stuff for an hour, open the place for half an hour, then after everyone has ransacked it, they shovel the rest of the stuff into dumpsters and throw it away! I love The Bins but after being there for a while I start to feel like my skin is crawling and I can't breathe. Paranoia? Or is it really that dirty? I don't know." -gillian
