Hey Hey Its Yesterday's Thrift Shop

Hey Hey It's Yesterday's Thrift Shop in it's original Paddington location. (google maps)
I came across these anecdotal gems while researching thrift shops in Paddington. The comments are about the pictured thrift shop and support my concerns about gentrification and rising real estate prices.  


"The great thing about having a thrift store in a suburb filled with trendy and rich people is that they get some of the most awesome stuff"


"Hooray for Hey Hey's!  This great little old lady thrift shop used to be up on Latrobe Terrace, but was pushed out a few years ago (no doubt due to rising rents)."


"the profits from these items don't even benefit the shop owners, they all go to benefit brain-injured children. You 
can't get more selfless than that."
