Georgia Avenue Thrift on GA is decent, but you gotta get there on Wednesdays. That’s when the new stuff is being processed. Do not give quarter to any of the old ladies there, it isn’t your fault you both arrived at the same garment at the same time. Stand your ground and do not relent. She was on this Earth first and had plenty of time so leave that chivalry shit at home—it’s dead anyway.

They have a color-coded discount system so pay attention to the television screen above checkouts as they tell you what that discount color of the day is.

Lastly, just a few blocks north of the thrift store is the best Mexican spot in the 4th district—J&J Mex. You won’t regret it.
