Remember Slackers? No not the movie, the alt lifestyle shop on Morgan Street that had a great run in the late 90’s. Slackers was the kind of place where they had everything- clothes, disc golf, incense and a room of glassware that was consistently crowded with State students. Slacker’s is long gone- these days we have Buddah’s Belly, Curious Goods, and now, Ripple City.
Ripple City has served Greenville for 9 years and ECU students aren’t too happy about the loss of their community bohemian store. “Ripple City is a definitive part of downtown. It gave downtown personality and I’m really going to miss it,” said one student in this East Carolinian Piece. The shop will be open 12-7 Monday through Saturday, and carries your full range of heady products. The shop will be located at 603 Glenwood Ave - in the old FM Goods location. Ripple City opens tomorrow, August 26th.
