      Diversity thrift is located in a warehouse district so it can be somewhat tricky to find if you aren't familiar with the area. It does have a parking lot, it's small but there is usually a spot open. If there isn't one available, there is also street parking. There is also a dock for easy loading/unloading for larger items. There is a handicap ramp for those who need it. It is a large, one level building around 15,000 sq ft, the aisles are large and easy to maneuver. 

       There is something for everyone to look at here. There is a large furniture selection, probably one of the best in the area. The building is large enough to have rooms dedicated; Lamps, housewares, sport wares, clothing, holiday decor, etc. They do have a "boutique" area in the front near the register. I've seen some really unique things there before and they don't jack the prices way up. Some of my favorite purchases have been an antique child's phone table ($9), Like new Danskos ($7), Antique white house vinegar jar ($3), Antique walnut office chair ($15) and canning jars. 
      
     I give Diversity five stars because every experience has been a good one no matter who I went with. I've been with many friends, family and even acquaintances. There is always something different to see, sometimes interesting characters as well. When I took my mother in law for the first time there was a husband and wife pair both wearing mini skirts, heels and 15lbs of belly dancers jewelry! I'm an instant gratification shopper so sorting through clothes and nicknacks does not appeal to me. This store is so great because it has so many categories to look at. It's overall pretty clean and organized and my mother and I both very much appreciate that. This store is easy to maneuver, well kept and reasonably priced. For all of these reasons Diversity Thrift is perfect for any shopper.
