Good selection, especially housewares (vintage teacups and played). Open till 8:00 pm Monday-Saturday, which is later than many other Goodwill stores (they close earlier on Sunday.) Mostly college students and assorted hipster shoppers. Staff is also mostly young and hipster. The tall guy who works there has some cool clothes.

Staff is nice overall, though one of them seemed annoyed with me for buying teacups (fragile, breakable) so late in the day (closing time) because they were running so low on paper to wrap them.

I wasn t expecting this since I moved to this neighborhood recently from the South End so I had been accustomed to shopping at the store on Harrison Ave. where they never seemed to run out of wrapping paper.

Well, we re not Harrison Ave., said the cashier.

This is true. Harrison Ave. store is much bigger and has more Theory suits - in addition to having more wrapping paper - but they are also more obnoxious about kicking you out of the store at closing time. Harrison Ave. has more people from the neighborhood (South End/Roxbury) shopping and hardly any hipster college students.

All in all this was a good shopping experience.
