Inside the High Street Antique Mall on Central Expressway /US75 is one of the best tearooms in the Metroplex – Chocolate Angel Cafe and Tearoom.

Every time I go into a thrift shop, I cannot help but think about the time I told Robert that Thrift City was like Goodwill only bad. He replied, “Oh, it’s a Badwill Store.” Thus, we now think of thrift store shopping as “Badwill Hunting”. Recently I have had the “Badwill Hunting” itch. I miss […]
