Traveling Thrifter - Philadelphia (and Lehigh Valley - Part II)

I'm just sitting here weeding through cancelled travel due to COVID19 and trying to salvage remaining trips. Looking at my pending list, I noted Pennsylvania is next up in mid-July...well, hopefully. I was originally headed there for a sorority conference in Philadelphia, connecting with my aunt (who is also my sorority sister). While the conference has been cancelled, I decided to still try to spend some time with my aunt. In thinking through this trip, it reminded me that I never shared my thrift adventures from my last visit to the Keystone State in October. Here's a list of some stores in the Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley Area and my favorite features of each:
