The Surprise Shop doesn't get the same volume of donated goods as the big Salvation Army and Goodwill stores but it's still fun to stop by and hunt now and then. The store is in an old frame house on a quiet block just a few minutes' walk from the heart of Towson and it is run by a crew of elderly ladies who could be your aunties. If nothing else, you can always buy a chocolate bar on your way out. I've found some treasures there on occasion and I always enjoy my visits.
