Vinyl, Vintage Tees & Counterculture Cool - Shop 73

Part thrift store, part record shop, all personality...

Visit Shop 73, where vintage clothing, music, books, and counterculture cool fill one of the mall's most fun and irreverent spaces. A sunglasses-wearing skeleton greets you from behind the counter and sets the tone right away. 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 Pokemon 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. If you're after vintage clothing, music, & books with real personality, Shop 73 is the kind of place where you walk in for a record and walk out with a story to tell. For more vinyl and vintage fashion, browse Shop 66 or check out more vintage tees and music nearby at Shop 135.
