St. Johns has always been one of Portland’s most diverse and eclectic neighborhoods. There are so many ways to spend your day in this picturesque neighborhood, but one of our favorites is thrifting. Going thrift shopping has many benefits beyond getting a good deal. These options are more sustainable, unique, and you’re usually supporting a small business and your local community. If we were spending the day thrifting in St. Johns this is how we’d spend it.
