Eco-Groovy Deals — Local services in Arcata

The store is great, bit over-priced, but still fun to check out in search of new treasures. One major buzz kill is the exceptionally rude "customer service" that has been delivered the last 3 times we've been in there.

No I'm not the person living at the yard sell house. I'm just the person that overheard the upset, hurt individual with nasty...

I recently stopped in at the new Plaza storefront (a bit larger than the last?!) and found a fun selection of used and new clothing and other items. I was hunting for a tapestry and found a thorough selection of 3d printed ones. Tough decision on which one to buy, but few would have been regrettable!

I first gained appreciation for Eco Groovy deals when they closed the Samoa Blvd retail location and doled out plunder from old inventory free for the taking. Fond memories of acquiring a couch for a gutted van we had recently obtained for purposes of pure...
