Ruby Begonia’s map
A downtown staple, you've probably seen this familiar storefront when heading down P Street. Ruby Begonia's has hundreds of eclectic pieces, curated from past decades to help you find unique treasures easily.

Goodwill
One of the most wide-known thrift stores, Goodwill's can vary by location. The downtown Goodwill at 18th & O Street is temporarily closed; when it reopens, it's an amazing location for on-campus students, as it is only about a 10-minute walk from city campus. Another location convenient from both City and East Campus is the Goodwill at 48th & Vine Streets– this location usually has consistent quality and there are always a few great finds.
