Golden and Sicamous

The cross-country RV trip gave us the opportunity to at least verify the existence - continuing or otherwise - of a few thrift shops.

Golden

As small as the town apparently is, it supports two thrift shops on 9th Street South on either side of 10th Avenue.

The first shop - on the east side of 10th - is the Bargain Basement located in the basement of St Andrew's United Church.  Unfortunately, it was closed as the staff seemed to have been overwhelmed and needed time to sort things out.





The other, on the west side, is the thrift shop of St Paul's Anglican church behind Abbeyfield (as it is located in the rear of the Abbeyfield care home).  It's a small shop with a smattering of everything.





We stopped by the Sicamous United Church thrift shop even though it was closed.  They're trusting enough to leave inventory outside over the weekend.



We didn't stop in Revelstoke to check on the town's sole remaining thrift shop
