By far my favorite store in the city! Stacks of old Rolling Stones line walls of special-interest dvd's and fitness magazines. Dont' forget to grab one of the FREE R. Crumb posters on your way out!
I like this store because while sometimes I find great deals on random things, I can also come in here looking for something very specific, and the friendly cashier always helps me find it.

If you ever wondered where Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg used to read their work, it was here! I like to browse the great collection of books and old Beatnik photos.

This is one of my favorite vintage stores in the city. Everything is organized by era and they always have great fake fur jackets for when Burning Man comes around.
