This video is about the Fam­ily Thrift Store in Guelph. I never lived in Guelph, but it’s a town I often visit because it’s where a lot of my friends live, and it’s where my older brother went to Uni­ver­sity. I remem­ber on one of my first vis­its a few years back being told I have to visit the Fam­ily Thrift Store. I went and thought it was a pretty neat store — heck, I bought a sweet jacket on my first trip! Since then, I made sure to stop by the Thrift Store when­ever I vis­ited, so I was pretty bummed out to hear ear­lier this month that the store would be clos­ing. I heard they were throw­ing some con­certs, so last Fri­day I made my way to the Royal City to catch one of them. This is my doc­u­ment of that night. I hope you get a sense of how impor­tant the Fam­ily Thrift Store was to a lot of people.
