Took a friend on a shopping spree at the Seattle Goodwill on Dearborn yesterday. It was a nice surprise to learn that they were having a red-tag sale of ½ off on a large fraction of their shoes & clothes. My friend had never been to that Goodwill before. She was ecstatic by the ginourmous selection to be had in an acre or two of clothes. Two pairs of boots, jeans, shirts, gloves and an excellent woolen winter greatcoat made her day.
Seattle Goodwill recently made music history. Seattle musicians Macklemore and Ryan Lewis made a rap song/video—Thrift Shop Feat, Wanz— about Goodwill shopping. It is now the second-ever platinum rap song from Seattle.
I am grateful to be able to help clothing-challenged friends, great prices on a HUGE selection of clothes and for the excellent work the Goodwill does in helping people get mainstreamed into the workforce.
