Nick at Bada Bargains can find anything. Okay, I’m not 100% sure on that, but there’s a pretty good chance that if you are looking for something, Nick can find it. The other day I walked in unannounced and told him that I needed some cheap items that a turn-of-the-century gentleman might wear. Nick responded by putting pair after pair of golden cufflinks in front of me. This is the sort of thing that happens regularly at Bada Bargains. Tucked under the El on Front Street, the place is stuffed full of your requisite flea market finds of VHS tapes and old board games. But amongst those items are also pinup photos, beautiful old books and diaries, World’s Fair mementos, and more. And oh yeah–it’s all cheap. Like, crazy reasonably priced. Nick and the other vendors just like finding interesting things, matching them with the right people, and telling stories. And that, that is awesome.
