Part thrift store, part record shop, all personality…

Visit Shop 73, where a sunglasses-wearing skeleton greets you from behind the counter and sets the tone for one of the mall’s most fun and irreverent spaces. This shop has serious Gen X and millennial energy, packed with vinyl records in milk crates, a well-stocked bookcase featuring titles like Charles Bukowski’s Hot Water Music and The Anti-Nuclear Handbook, and a wooden Bordeaux wine box overflowing with DVDs. Framed vintage advertising posters for Florio and Cinzano lean against the shelves, while cheeky office humor signs like “A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind!” line the walls.

Clothing is a big draw here, with two full racks of vintage t-shirts and jackets in every color. You’ll spot a yellow CAT Power jacket, a Soundgarden tee, an “I Believe in the Future of Agriculture” shirt, fringed suede jackets, and bold color-blocked windbreakers. A crate of snapback and trucker hats includes a Miller High Life cap, a Buffalo Bisons hat, and a Pokémon design. Woven Mexican blankets and a crocheted orange-and-white afghan draped on the wall add textile flair.

The shelves are crammed with oddball treasures that keep things interesting: a Visible Man anatomy model kit, a Super-8 movie projector in its original box, a vintage glass oil lamp, Melmac-style blue dishware, amber glass tumblers, and retro science kits. A wooden marionette dangles from a shelf and leather handbags hang overhead. Shop 73 is the kind of place where you walk in for a record and walk out with a story to tell your friends.
