Junky, overpriced, better stuff @ the Goodwill
2 Star Rating: Below Average

01/06/2007 Posted by pinkglamingo

I made my second and final trip to Father & Sons today. The first time I went, back in the Spring, I thought it was pretty cool, if a bit overpriced. Today, it was junky, hard to move around, nothing in any semblance of order, there were two "mobiles" hanging up for $8. that were for sale @ Target on clearance a month ago for $.25. A deer Christmas ornament from Wal-Mart for $.97 was for sale for $3. It could be a much cooler place with some degree of order. Some of the art for sale was REALLY cool, well done and appropriately priced. Some of it looks like a kindergartner did it. I also went to "Stuff" for the first time today - if you like F&S, you'll love Stuff. They don't have as much, but it is orderly and much better priced.

Pros: Kitsch, Funky, Unusual Items

Cons: Overpriced, Junky
