In a world of Goodwills and Salvation Armys, Tampa alone has been blessed with two of Red White and Blue’s nearly 30 national locations. Both of ours—one on Hillsborough Avenue in Town ‘n’ Country and another in Seminole Heights—constantly have new (and we mean new) inventory coming in, and items with certain colored tags go on sale every day, for abnormally cheap. And even when something isn’t on sale, these things head out the door faster than the speed of light, and sometimes, right off the cart and racks fresh from the stockroom. There won’t be a “next time” if you pass on something interesting, but Red White and Blue is probably the only place in the world where you’re able to celebrate finding a signed Blue October CD, an Xbox 360, and black Banana Republic boots without shattering the bank by skating across the store on a RipStik. Just make sure to hit the bank first for some old-fashioned cash.
