Editor Elizabeth, here. I got lots of feedback from my survey last month on you favorite sections of the newsletter and what readers would like to see more of.
One reader asked about local thrift options we have around town, so I’m kicking things off with three places to get your treasure hunt started. Thrift Depot,East Lancaster Avenue
