Sugartown USA on Massachusetts Street buys and sells used clothing. Sugartown featured a large selection of jeans and vintage clothing. Erin Osburn, Olathe senior, freshman, looks through a rack of clothing for a vintage t-shirt at Sugartown USA. Holding a pair of pants, a girl, Eplee judges the size and potential fit of a pair of pants at Sugartown USA. Looking for something different to wear tonight? How about a low-priced something to wear? Who isn't, is more like it. Students around Lawrence flocked to Massachusetts Street to check out some of the most fabulous stores in town -thrift stores. While sifting through Arizona Trading Company's racks, Erin Osbourn, Olathe senior, said lt's just so refreshing to go into thrift stores as opposed to department stores because you can create your own style. When it comes to finding individuality in clothing, these stores really hit home for a lot of students. ltjust allows you to be so creative, Lindsay Eplee, Atchinson sophomore, said. Trying to put together a complete outift or just looking for something fun, Mass St. thrift stores were many students' one-stop shops. I am always looking for a good pair of cords, Eplee said. For most students, that was just what thrift stores were all about -finding clothing that mirrors their fun, creative and individual selves. The walls of Sugartown USA were covered with Asian-inspired drawings in deep pinks and blacks. Arizona Trading Co. favored a retro-like atmosphere with very colorful and clever employee-made posters. Mannequins at Arizona Trading Co. are dressed in funky outfits and wild accessories. Outside of those two popular Mass Street stores, Flush was just around the block on Ninth Street. Flush is somewhat of a secret to Mass Street shoppers because it's not on the average shoppers main path. The store features men's and women's clothing, shoes and accessories. Flush is adjacent to a lava Break. We're different because we have a lot of new stuff, like hats, scarves, belt buck- les, Matt Klein, Flush employee, said. And as far as our resale items, we buy differ- ently than the other stores in the area. We're a little more outgoing as far as what we buy and more willing to take a little more of a risk. We're not as conservative. campus life Zi
