Oh good! I always complain that it’s too hard to find unaffordable clothing in Princeton.
Princeton needs another fashion retailer like it needs another university. How about an actual thrift store? Not more overpriced consignment crap – somewhere you can get a shirt for a dollar.
A shirt for a dollar? Great idea. How about a nickel burger and a $500 car while we’re at it. All power to the people.
Your comment just serves as evidence as to how out-of-touch some Princeton shoppers are. You ever go to Red White & Blue in Mercerville? Can get a whole outfit for $10.
Then go to Mercerville?
Because Princeton should endeavor to present residents with an assortment of diverse shopping options, not only those accessible by the better-off among us?
Crazy idea: if you think Princeton needs a thrift store, go ahead and open a thrift store.
