Excerpt

Q. Say you’re headed to Los Angeles. How do you find vintage stores in the area?

A. Before you go, search online for antique malls, vintage shops, dealers in the city. It’s as simple as Googling those words and seeing what comes up. Many businesses are still not on the Web, so Yelp is an excellent resource. In the comments, people are very specific about what they bought, what the item looks like, how much it was. I don’t care necessarily whether the review is positive or negative. I just want to get a feel for what I’d likely find. And before you leave, make sure you measure the space in your house you want to furnish.
