In the 07/29/2008 issue of the Post-Gazette, there is a good story on second hand stores. With the economy the way it is today, it's not a bad idea to start taking a look at these places. There is a very nice little store located right in our own backyard on Wabash Street caddy-corner to the Carnegie Library. The store is called the Animal Advocates Thrift Shoppe. Here is what the Gazette had to say about it:
Animal Advocates Thrift Shop
35 Wabash St.West End
412-928-9837
Although not as quaint as Family Heirlooms, the Animal Advocates Thrift Shop is also a two-story house. The space is small, and maneuvering through the piles of toys and clothes is difficult. There are some recognizable brands such as Old Navy and Gap, but they are scarce.
Selection is small but the prices are low. The thrift store offers shoppers a brown bag bargain: They can purchase a bag for $3 and take home what fits in the bag.

According to the telephone voice mail , the store hours are listed below.
Tuesday 12:00-3:00
Thursday 1:00-3:30
Friday 12:30-3:30
Saturday 11:00-3:00
(website shows slightly different hours)
