The shop hosts in-store concerts featuring local bands on select weekends and supports sustainability efforts with a $10 T-shirt rack that raises funds for climate change initiatives. “T-shirts are this thing we all wear every day, and for many of us, our T-shirts are some of our most favorite possessions,” Nixon explains. “The artwork, the meaning, and the history behind these shirts… they are more than just clothes.” With a passion for preserving stories, Nixon actively buys vintage clothing and memorabilia, encouraging those with special items to reach out. “One of my favorite things is to hear the stories behind these clothes from the original owners, and pass it along to the people who buy them from us.”
