Vintage Mecca

I read in Melanie Spencer’s statesman.com blog today that La Luz Home and Fashion and Prototype Vintage are planning to merge into one vintage mega-store. The two will combine at Prototype’s South Congress Avenue location in August, with both stores offering sales all this month.

Don’t forget that tomorrow is First Thursday, so if you’re out for the festivities down South Congress anyway, you might as well check out the Prototype/La Luz sales!

Speaking of sales, I was running down Sixth Street today (to get to the Gold’s Gym) and ran past Julian Gold, where all sale merchandise is an extra 25% off. I haven’t been there yet–I think I’m too poor–but perhaps a sale-on-a-sale is just the motivation I need.

This just in: Celebrate the start of a long weekend with a BBQ (including veggie dogs!) at the cool 2110 block of South Lamar, home to Moxie & The Compound, Aviary, Downstairs apparel, Legendary Beads, and Birds Barbershop. The stores will be offering discounts and serving up food and drink!
