In 2011, we added over 1,200 new stores to our Marketplace, having had the pleasure to discover some fantastic shopping experiences and bring you the stories of businesses both small and mainstream. No other shops thrilled us more than the vintage retailers with the owners' anecdotes about the hunt for antique and one-of-a-kind objects.

Among many good ones at the edge of the continent, two venerable San Diego institutions must be mentioned: Boomerang and Mid-Century.
I know we could just click, but it would be nice if it at least said what city each of these are in....
I agree, since this is billed as a "coast to coast" round up... I think it would be good to have them organized by location...
I love window shopping online! This is a fun way to visit new cities and shops without leaving home! Love the round-up -and it would be fun to take note of some of the best for when I do get to travel! Thanks for sharing!
Another place for great mid-century finds here in Dallas is Mid2Mod...
www.mid2mod.com
They also have an Etsy store...

I agree...location included on the list would have been much appreciated.
Hi everyone - thanks for the feedback! I just added the locations to the list.
Thanks, Janel. :)
Also, another great mention is Stella's in Brooklyn for clothing
