There's no "let's take a quick look around" with this one. Beyond the neon-green door in the historic Houston Heights, you'll find — by way of a collective of individual vendors — two stories stuffed and overstuffed with vintage, reproduction and retro garb. Looking to win the ugly Christmas sweater contest at work? Headed to an '80s Dynasty party? Want to win his heart with a retro-chic '50s halter sun dress? Retropolis has it all, plus an extensive collection of gently used cowboy boots for when rodeo season comes around. It might take a little digging to find that perfect piece, so bring a friend, grab some lunch along 19th Street, then take a trip down memory lane through Mom's or Grandma's attic.
