Quotes

"Treasure City is a volunteer-run nonprofit staffed by a friendly anarchist collective." - Austin American Statesman

"Possibly the best thrift store/social movement of the century... holding the torch for an Austin that is not so much "weird" as "freakish," in a good and not particularly mass-marketable way." - Austin Chronicle
