All The Old Stuff’s New Again

[/one_third] [one_third]The wig store that formerly occupied the northeast corner of Northeast Fremont Street and Seventh Avenue was such a low-key retail presence it was sometimes hard to tell if it was open for business. Not so with the splashy resale store Rerun (707 N.E. Fremont St., 503-517-3786), which has carved out an eclectic niche for itself since opening last year.

There are nice deals in the shelves full of books, videos, CDs and other miscellany. A recent find was an unopened pack of 1990 Fleer baseball cards for $1 that had Ken Griffey Jr. in his first full season with the Mariners. That’s gotta be worth something. (EB)
