The Marvelous is a quaint little record shop. They have a really interesting selection, and are worth checking out, even if solely on the merits of being a record store that still exists.

The Second Mile consists of several consecutive thrift shops. They have a lot of space, and thus a lot of selection. Their prices aren't the best I've ever seen, but they're more than adequate.

It's a littler further than Supreme and the prices are a little higher, but the selection is very different. If you don't find what you're after at Supreme, it may be worth checking the Fresh Grocer.
