What People Are Saying About Wasteland

In Short – Savvy buyers keep the joint packed with merchandise from virtually every decade. You never know what you'll find, from couture pieces to last season's French Connection pleather slacks. Don't miss the cutting-edge accessories (gold '70s chain necklaces and new Playboy-brand wallets) and the huge shoe section, which features killer castoffs such as studded red-leather sandals and Lucite-and-gold heels from such labels as Chinese Laundry.

Diamond in the Rough
by lisagentz at Citysearch
The vintage items are better than the new things they try to sell (which are way overpriced and not as appealing). Great place to find cute boots (as you're own discretion of course).
Found a really high end designer bag for $35, and is definitely real. Bought it 2 years ago and it's still my favorite bag to use. Totally a diamond in the rough. Probably my best find.
It's really pure luck in what you find. Just be patient and don't expect to find what others have told you they've found. It IS a thrift store. GOOD LUCK!
- Pros: Amazing Finds

ahhhh

It's a super good store and i always find amazing things but their methods of tagging items are careless. I bought two items that were in perfect condition (or so it seemed) until i got home and took the tags off. in the shirt their is a large hole in the back because for some reason they put 3 to 4 plastic things in the tag to connect it to the shirt. i worked in retail and one is more than enough. my shoes also had the snake skin pulled back and ruined in one spot because they did the same thing to them. it's a super bummer because these items came in in pristine condition. they don't even have a website to let them know that they are ruining wonderful vintage with their odd procedures. again, such a bummer, come on.
