This post is a bearer of bad news. Jalopy's will be closed this Saturday, August 15th.

We are out of town and our fill in just notified us of an unforseen conflict for tomorrow. 🙁The joys of small business.😁

Everyone is all good and we will be back next week, better than ever. Tuesday and Thursday 3-6, Saturday 10:30-5. See you then!

You want to be different? Yet you shop at stores with 10 of the same shirts on a rack? Why not shop where there is only one and is difficult to find other places? Getting you back to school in style and a little more $ in your pocket with 23% off this Saturday!

Finishing a late night at Jalopy's. Coffee is now cold but the soundtrack is courtesy of one of the coolest things to come out of New York since sliced pizza.

SUM SUN has been keeping me company tonight. Give them a listen. They have several great songs and one called "Blame It on the Rain." (They don't lip sync it, I've seen't it live).

At Jalopy's we love music. Rock, country, yacht rock, punk, blues, grunge, whatever... if it hits, it gets played.

Stop by Saturday 10:30-4, come listen to our Spotify playlist on our kick'n 90's bass system. Listen while finding something really cool to take home.

Maize ( Jalopy's 8% minority owner with majority input) stopped in to check in on her investment and to let everyone know next Saturday is our friends and now neighbor Myles Ahead world famous Paws & Pints event. So come down to the MAC 12-6 to help support all the awesome work they do!

This Monday, I'll be turning 52, when normal people are making wise financial decisions...

JALOPY'S is having a 25% off all clothing / fund-raising sale this Saturday,
Your purchase will go directly to the "he may purchase another vehicle fund (but not until he sells 2 to buy 1 according to his wife) and maintenance account" or it may be that dollar needed to purchase the next interesting..."look at that" item for the shop.

Don't view this as enabling, it's just shopping.

Thank you for helping keep my questionable financial choices alive. They make much better stories and look cooler than responsible adulting.

Hot take from an old head...
I was around when most of this stuff was actually on the racks the first time.
Unpopular opinion: I like repop. Especially clothing.

I don't need the anxiety of wearing a 30-year-old T-shirt just to make a Tuesday Kroger run. I want the look, not the worry of getting a pizza stain piece of textile history.
And shoes? I'm not trusting 30-year-old glue holding together a pair of sneakers, I like my tendons attached.
The shoes I wore all through high school were reissued with my grad year on them even. (A personal tribute or poking fun?) I'm just happy to have them again.
People in the vintage world can spot the difference, and that's exactly what makes real vintage special.
Repops let you wear the style. Vintage lets you own the history. There's plenty of room for both.

We are open this Friday...so if you need something to do this business holiday, stop in and pick up something cool for the holiday weekend. Dress and decorate like you have better stories than everyone else.

We are blushing... Jalopy's has somehow become a finalist in Cincy Magazines Family Choice Awards. We are shocked and assuming some sort of clerical error or until they figure it out...we are never one to waste an opportunity, carpe diem. 😁

Voting is now open and you can vote once a day for the next week.

If you have ever wandered into Jalopy's and found something you absolutely didn't know you needed, got a friend that perfect obscure gift, said we smell good or just came in to look around and chat...we appreciate you and would also appreciate your vote.

Let's show the rest of Cincinnati that Morrow isn't just a place you accidentally drive through... it's a destination were spending lovely Saturdays is a wonderful experience.

While voting please cast a vote for my neighbors at the MAC, Grace & Mae Boutique and Creating JOY... also if it has been a while come back and see us all at Morrow Arts Center. Morrow Market starts this weekend!

"My Dad would love this shop."
l heard a rumor this weekend is Father's Day: Free travel mug with purchase this Saturday. So bring Dad or if he can't make it, come in buy him something or get a gift card.
If you're one of those kids, buy yourself something and give Dad the free mug. We won't judge.
This Saturday is going to be a lot of fun here in Morrow...come see us.
