POP PVD (also known as the Emporium Of Popular Culture) on West Park Street is like stepping into a wonderland of fabulous vintage finds from the last century. Other have said it and I’m gonna parrot them because it’s so fitting — it’s the closest we’re gonna come to happening on a time machine.

Previously located in EG, there’s a surprise around every corner at this PVD super store overflowing with antiques. We’re talking vintage movie posters and books, mid century modern furniture, toys (from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s & 80’s), a table from where you would have kept score at the bowling alley, a jukebox, TV Guides from the 60’s, pinball machines, Tupperware, art, old time-y tv’s (the ones in the cabinets), and much more.

And it’s all artfully merchandised (I say this as someone who worked in retail for close to twenty years). Just a joy to peruse, explore.

Maybe you’re a fan of all things vintage? Maybe you’re an interior designer looking for truly unique and special pieces for a client (whether it be residential or commercial)?

Either way, you gotta motor over to POP this coming weekend.

They are usually open every Saturday (and Sunday) from 1 to 5pm.

Find POP PVD at 219 W Park Street in Providence, RI.
