Junk store Saturday

Has junk gone mainstream? For some reason, the thrift stores around town were packed with people this weekend. When I stopped by Value Village on Boone, there weren't any shopping carts. Every cart had been taken and was being pushed around the store full of merchandise. I did find a vintage cotton camp blanket so I left happy. I found a Diamondback mountain bike for my daughter at the Goodwill store on Third Avenue for $9.99, so she was happy too.
