I went to college at UC in the late 90s, and Trivets was such a great store. I moved back home to Toledo after college, but I've been back down there a few times, and I was really bummed that they closed up. Another victim of a Wal-Mart world, I suppose.safari4adhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839318044060820873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741318939257880762.post-70907423940850092502019-10-28T12:59:59.427-07:002019-10-28T12:59:59.427-07:00I grew up in Cincinnati, lived there until 1987.

Does anyone remember the silent, bearded guy who used to work downstairs? He was a little intimidating in his silent staring. That poster room was my favorite part of the store. I bought a couple crazy posters and put them up in the locker room hall at our school, CCDS, when I was a senior. I did get to visit the Norwood location once and bought some great whiskey glasses and an amazing dead-stock turtleneck from the 60's or early 70's that I will cherish forever.

They were on display there for quite some time. I was told the Dean and his buddies used to hang out there. Does anyone have information about the boots or any recollection of the story?

There were 2 older gentlemen who ran/owned the place. they were unique as well. They always seemed more interested in enjoying the collection they had curated than actually selling. WOW, If I could time travel for a day I would visit again <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651923624036452024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741318939257880762.post-38489258817198484032018-08-31T16:59:22.233-07:002018-08-31T16:59:22.233-07:00Whatever happened to that cool green car in the ba...Whatever happened to that cool green car in the basement?

At that time Trivets was the most outrageous place that you could ever imagine: blacklight posters for two dollars hanging next to magnificent antique furniture, expensive chandeliers, very fine Oriental rugs, baroque statuary...you name it... like stepping into someone’s acid trip! The owner(s) were equally unique (read- far out). <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152394772495802559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741318939257880762.post-27351247800688049962017-12-11T08:12:47.071-08:002017-12-11T08:12:47.071-08:00I bought a stained glass hanging light fixture abo...I bought a stained glass hanging light fixture about 3 years ago from Duck Creek Antique Shop on Madison Rd. in Cincinnati.

Many re-sale and thrift stores try to re-create (at least to some extent), the feeling you got when you went into that place. It is sad that it is gone and that all of its merchandise too, but hopefully, it went to many great places. I own a resale shop (Julie's Junque) at 1902 Sutton Ave. in Cincinnati (straight up from Old Coney Island). Although I sell a lot of "usual" items, I carry vintage clothes and some of the types of other items that Trivets carried. I just wish I had my shop when they went out of business. I would have loved to acquire at least one half that store!

The store moved from Race street to Carthage Ave in Norwood in 2003. The store was closed in 2008 and everything was auctioned off. Alot of shops in Cincinnati bought items at auction. Talk of the Town in Reading bought some items. I could not Bring myself to go to auction, so I'm not sure who or where items went. You may call me to reminisce or if you have questions.

The last address I found was the one Ryan Klosterman posted. I haven't had a chance to see if the store is at that location, but I did call the number. The young lady I spoke with said the number was not a valid one for Trivets and that she gets many calls asking about it. If anyone has any information, please post it. I'm a Musician from the Greater Cincinnati area and would like to visit the store, if it still exists..
