Lexington Vintage — Local services in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

My family visited about a year ago with our newborn. We were greeted by a very nice lady upon entering. We had seen a blue desk on the Facebook and she directed us to where it was. We walked around a little bit and decided to get the desk. Upon leaving, another lady asked “did you find everything ok?” I responded “yes,” and her reply was “is it in there?” while she pointed at our baby carrier.

They are getting paid to be there!” The conversation didn’t stop there and completely ruined the good music and pretty vintage pieces. I don’t care what their political views are, but the world is ugly enough and I come vintage shopping as an escape. I wish the conversations were more mindful or respectful, there were other women upstairs shopping and it felt rude loudly talking about people get “shot in the nuts”…… it’s gross conversation to be forced to hear while I am looking at pretty ceramic and...
