Best Second-Hand Clothing Store

Hidden up a hill off Barrington’s northern reaches, Frenchy’s is part second-hand clothing store and part community gathering spot. “I always see customers run into people they know here,” says Sarah Slopek, who is in the process of buying the place. “People meet people. We all talk and hang out.” With retro being the “in” fashion, this is where you find the originals. 3250 Barrington, 444-3434
